Fallen giant.
‘Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.’
Jean Cocteau
Daily shots from our walks in the local forest will continue here for a little while longer. And I’ll add another from my collection of pictures to show more of the world and its wonders. But these posts use valuable writing time, and can irritate readers who follow my posts for information about my books and writing, so I’ll stop this series eventually. But I may replace it with a series of single pictures from my files.
If shared on social media, more people will be able to enjoy the natural beauty of our world, so please do that if you can. Thank you. We might also restore a bit of love and respect for nature and help slow the damage we’ve inflicted on our world.

All photographs here are my own, unless otherwise credited. More of my pictures can be found here. And a small sample of my work lives under the ‘Gallery’ tab, top of this page.

I love the “old gnarled tree” with its branches just waiting for a picnic lunch and climbing. I was thinking of my Granddaughter! She would be at the top! The two lonely swans were a great contrast to the shallow river. Thanks for posting.

It’s a great tree for climbing, Brenda. If I were only 20 years younger…
Yes, I was crossing a small bridge as this pair emerged, and I took a few. This shot placed them just where I wanted them to be.

I can’t resist a swan! Very beautiful (but they can be rather aggressive!).

I agree, Lynette. Beautiful, but potentially dangerous. MInd you, the rumour about them being able to break someone’s arm with their wings is an urban myth.
