golden silver birch


The woods near us are managed plantations of Scots Pine. In some of the older parts where the trees have been thinned, self seeded silver birch saplings have grown.


A couple of days ago as I drove home past the woods, the birches seemed to be almost glowing golden in the low late afternoon sun.


Once home I grabbed my camera and wandered through the trees trying to capture the magic of the moment


the mix of green and yellow leaves


lit by the setting sun.


The leaves are falling, more every day and soon the yellow will leave the woods for another year.
