Tales from the woods

 

Tales from the woods you might well say but this was just as it was before the torrential rain of the last few days turned much in wet sponges and mud in the woods and fields here as I went in the infrequent pauses.

Although this is winter, some signs of Spring can be seen in the vibrancy of some of the foliage and the emergence of Pussywillow and Daffodils from their slumber.
