At no other time of year and no other time of day do we get this spectacle quite as now. We're looking into the light shortly after sunrise with the new leaves illuminated from behind. In many ways this backlit yellow-green sums up the atmosphere of spring especially when there is an accompanying musical effect provided by warblers all around and Blackbirds at intervals below in the lower woodland.
There the tops of Larch have seen the sun before the Pine while snow on the west facing slopes has just caught its first daylight. A bitter wind from the north and earlier snow flurries have encouraged the young deer to seek the best shelter while still benefitting from the warmth of the sun.
