At Last……the buds on the Beech are about to burst

The morning light in the woods still has that cold look about it….but here on my favourite stand of rather bent Beech Trees (a legacy from abandoned hedge laying) the Beech buds are starting to burst from their winter shells, giving a hint of colour to the tips of their branches and a hint of the rich green to come.  Elsewhere Birch and blossom blend against the blue sky of another day full of Spring anticipation…..
