For the Beech Trees

Another sign of spring unfolding, the beech trees are beginning to loose their leaves. All winter they hold on, singing in the wind as they rustle each other, and becoming paler and paler as the winter retreats until they are almost transparent. The new buds push the old leaves off, their frail structure often curled up on itself. They give such soft and tender beauty to the winter landscape. So this for them. With thanks.

  5. Hi Jill, Sandra, Susan and Rosie, please forgive my very tardy response to your comments. Life got away from me this week, just way to busy. Thank you all for your lovely comments, I love beech trees and I was worried that this grid was to quiet, so especially thanks for the reassurance, and have fun with the camellis images Rosie, making grids is addictive.
