heavy rains intermittent heavy rain for the last two weeks is resulting in saturated fields and ditches full of water. the little stream in the woods flooded the path overnight, but had sunk back to its own bed by the morning. the woods were full of the sound of rushing water. against the sound of water, the purring call of Brent geese looking for a wheat field for pasture, flying with the dark grey rain-filled cloud. the winter wood even in sunshine mostly grey, and the ivy all browsed back by the deer.

I love how the floors of the forest grow little green things, even here, because there are no leaves. It’s almost as if the forest becomes a feild for a few months, before the trees grown back. xoxoxo Reply yes, in the subsoil here there is often a chalky kind of clay, called marl, in between all the sands and gravels, and I think that is what is making the silt so pale in the streams. soon we may see some woodland flowers – there are usually primroses in this wood. Reply I hope the floods aren’t too destructive since I was going to say the woods actually looks beautiful this way. Nothing like nature going haywire. A little. Reply no, no destruction, just a lot of mud! Reply Oh, how I enjoy seeing those photos. The winter wood is especially beautiful. -Janine Reply Leave a ReplyCancel reply This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.
