A Walk in the Woods (Part 1)


I took a quiet walk with the dog through Wemyss Firs on Saturday. Apart from the Scouts and a few joyriding motorbike scramblers there is rarely anyone else around. I saw two huge Buzzards in the fields beyond the woods, and a deer (a photo of which I will post soon). Chestnuts were falling from huge trees along by the river, and the remains of many open, half-eaten ones lay on the ground. I had taken quite a few pictures of the sun coming through big, old, gnarled trees - Oak, Chestnut, Beech - but none of them seemed to work out. All a bit cliched and poor quality (note to self - make more use of tripod) but I like the effect of the layers in this 'puddle picture'.

Well, now, I really do like this! Lovely shapes of leaves in silhouette, with what at first glance looked like some sort of ethereal wisteria over the top. I didn't realise it was a puddle until I read your description. I love to walk in woods, so this picture really appeals to me. Looking forward to part 2!

PS. I'm so pleased to see my luck has indeed changed! (see my commment on previous post!)
