A walk through the village on a sunny Saturday never fails to delight as plants and landscape views spark the imagination.
The soft green of the panelled fencing behind and the red bark of this Cornus Alba complement each other projecting the stems into the foreground and reinforcing the contrast between them.
The splayed leaves of this Chusan Palm form two-dimensional layers, some catching the sun and some in shadow. A touch of the exotic in the middle of Winter.
The naked branches of tall trees reaching towards the sky take on the appearance of capillaries extending to extremities.
The bright sunshine intensifies the colour of this adornment of ivy to an almost citrus-like luminosity.
Little packages of new growth. This Hydrangea's waxy buds stand proud alongside tired, brittle blooms; a memory of last summer next to the promise of the year to come.
Prehistoric looking green lichen makes its home on the bark of a tree.
Algae grows where water drips slowly down the walls underneath the railway bridge.
Graffiti, worn away by years of exposure to the elements, is transformed into a blue lichen-like pattern which now barely clings to the wall it once defaced. Decayed urban art in the countryside.
Dancing barbs tear open the scaly skin of this gate bar to reveal its rust-ridden innards.
