6th March wasn’t the best of weather, but wasn’t the worst. After all, it is only early spring. A short bus journey takes us south of the county border to Gunton Woods.

The trees hold out their naked branches, but beneath them are snowdrops, daffodils and winter aconites

The deeper in, the more established those drifts seem to be

This is definitely a planting, but I liked the scene it created

Peeping through the ivy-bound trees to Gunton church

The train no longer runs yet the bridge remains to provide clear division of the two woods. Heading now to Corton Woods, where we’ve walked many times
6th March 2023
No under-plantings here; it’s all together more natural. Also of a different nature, being on heath instead of clay.
6th March 2023
Lots of holly and ivy here keeps it dark, even at this otherwise leafless season

Last time I passed this way, there was just the one model, all alone on the seat. I see now he/she has company.

Did you watch Amazon Prime’s Rings of Power?
No, me neither. But I have seen several reviews on YouTube and…wow!
The reviewers’ major criticism concerns what the writers have done with Galadriel. I understand it though their reason is beyond me: they’ve made her a psychopath. Either that or she is displaying a very high degree of cognitive dissonance.

Another bridge
To span another chasm
Another bridge
To bring estranged friends together
Another bridge
Over river, over road, over rail
Another bridge, the highlights of the trail
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory) by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN

Last week we left our walk to take a slight detour, but deep sticky mud curtailed that. And so we turn around, to Burlingham Woods and Burlingham Church…

Recalcitrant
Defiant
Pig-headed and stubborn
(aren’t they the same thing?)
Trampling through the delicate gardens
Of other peoples’ feelings
Never listening to warnings
He’s been told
Told in cursive, italic and bold
Told in asides, whispered and loud
He’s been slapped, pounded and bashed
With punishments I’d deem harsh
But does he listen?
Does he care?
Lost in his own world
Doesn’t want to hear
He remains plain unrepentant
