Elegant Oak

 

Spread your arms and dance with the wind. Sometimes swaying gently, other times appearing ready to leap from the ground.  Elegant partners dancing through the decades, creating their own music.

After a winter that hung around far too long, the first faint colours of spring are a very welcome sight. The gold of the willows and the faint blush of the maple blossoms promise warmer days and gentler weather to come.

Treeline

 

Treeline

A gentle separation, of field and field, crop and crop, properties, a treeline waves. Far friendlier than a fence, and a place for the wildlings to travel to, from and along, poplars, maple, sometimes evergreen. Green punctuation marks upon the landscape.

Stalking the Marsh

 

Stalking the Marsh

The  coastal salt marsh of the South Carolina Low Country, is the birth place of much of the ocean's life. It's also home to many who feed on the creatures that are born, and live there. The magnificent herons, and their kin, are a constant presence-stalking the marsh.

Hamilton Rd Undulations

Hamilton Rd Undulations

I drive past this vista regularly, there’s a rutted farm track that goes through the fields and the land tells tales of retreating glacial flood waters, followed by forests then farms. These fields are zoned industrial use, one by one they’re disappearing under concrete and asphalt.

Not far off the beaten track of the 401 super highway, a rural road winds past farmsteads and villages, a welcome respite from the city that nibbles at the lands around it. Veracious in it's appetite, will it snatch these lands into it's maw as so many already devoured?
