A Forest Walk





Here are a few shots taken along the High Bowkerstead Trail in Grizedale Forest. I think the theme that joins all these pictures together would be "holding on".

The first shot of the last remaining section of dry stone wall along part of the trail.  It leans precariously and seems like it could fall down the steep bank at any time. 

The second and fourth pictures show some of the bright foliage still clinging tenaciously to the branches when so many of the trees around are almost completely bare of leaves. I love the brilliant yellow and in the final shot I love the contrast of the lime green leaves and the dark of the trunk and branches.

The third picture of the raindrop clinging tightly to the bud on the end of its twig was quite a challenge.  The wind constantly moving the branches threatened to dislodge the droplet at any moment, it also made it hugely difficult to get the reflected trees in focus so I am quite pleased with the result.
