14th March 2025, the weather being fair, we hopped a bus and rode south of the county border, to the outskirts of Lowestoft. Destination, two woodlands, totally different. Photos from Gunton Woods this week, and from Corton Woods next week. So let’s go.

This woodland contains a scatter of really old trees, of middle-aged trees and of youngsters

It’s bounded by drainage ditches with conveniently placed footbridges over them

Sometimes the sun can be against you, dazzling. But here it sweeps across a small glade of snowdrops, daffodils, primroses, catkins and cherry trees

That sun was burning through these old oak leaves, almost setting them afire

Cherry blossoms. Daffodils. Let’s celebrate spring

The trouble with these water-filled ditches is that as a tree ages, and gains in girth, the damp soil fails to hold it up straight – unlike (below) these younger firmer rooted trees

Now it’s beyond this woods that we must go. But I’m leaving that till next week. Meanwhile, don’t forget to cheek out the flowers in this week’s Tuesday Treats
Hope you enjoyed

What a variety you were able to capture this week. Those oak leaves still hanging on and all the new flowers. I love the one leaning tree with the delightful hoe in it too. wonder what’s taken up residency in there? hmmm

Happy you liked. Spring has really taken hold now. Temperatures are rising. Feels good to be out there, walking the camera, and knowing there are people (like you) who enjoy seeing the fruits of my rambles. Thank you for giving me reason

I love our countryside. Other people show photos of their children. I show photos of local trees

Yes, unlike our children- who don’t like their pictures on any social media site
