Birch Tree Down..
In the last days of December we did a short hike in the Park. it was slightly cold the wind was gusting at times, only a few brave or crazy folks were out and about; us included.
Along our favorite path we call Birch Alley more tress are falling down. not sure whether it is blight or birch borers taking their toll but each year the birch stand gets thinner and thinner. this one is starting to rot and cave in succumbing to decay. .Hopefully it will birth a few new birch trees in its passing.

The pathway leads the way through the Silver Birch trees that gently sway in the breeze as though they are nodding to you as you pass by and whispering to you to get a move on..
I have a thing about paths. Not those made of hard concrete,gravel, or asphalt but lovely soft gentle-ish ones that lead through woods and along by rivers, and streams in the low lying valleys. I find them magical places and to follow one and not to know where it will lead you, for me, is the best thing of all. Ive lost count of the number of times Ive followed them for miles only to come to a dead end of an overgrow mass of brambles or a boggy mire.
But still, Ive always found something interesting like an unusual shaped stone or fossil, a wild flower or tree or a badgers set that I didnt know anything about as these are the places where you will find these things.
Many of these trails here in Ireland were old Mass paths that people used for centuries to go to Sunday services and they went from village to village. This path travels from the village of Laragh to Rathdrum. It follows a river for much of its journey and you can just imagine the parents trying to control their laughing, boisterous children from playing in the river and making a complete mess of their clothes as it could lead to eternal damnation if you appeared at Mass in a state like that! God would not be pleased and neither would the priest who would cut you such a look that would nearly put the heart crossways in you! Lol!
These are really special places and thankfully after centuries of neglect they have now been restored and made accessible to everybody. There are good feelings about them and should there be such a thing as "being in a state of grace", then surely the people who passed this way, with their lovely children, their friends and their neighbours on those Sunday mornings long, long ago, were filled with such a goodness of spirit. I truly envy them and of their time here.
So when you see an old country path leading off into the distance somwhere, do follow it. You will most likely find me where it ends, stuck in a deep bog hole! Help!

My new favourite mug. Birch trees are my second favourite tree next to the weeping willow. I can't imagine how much time has bee put into making this mug.

A Forest Of Colour...
Fall is a magical time of year, the trees display vibrant colours as the get ready to shed their leafy canopy for the stark grey winter ahead..
This patch of forest was ever much so, its green leaves turned a vibrant yellow and gold... the waning sunlight through the trees only accentuated the vibrancy of the natural colours.

While having a period of total gloom, heavy rains/snowfalls can't help dreaming of the times and places where everything is not the same. About a motherland in its best as you remember it. Here's a picture from a distant location in my region that is not easy to reach. Month of May and warm evening, beautiful view and good food from an open fire, what can be better?
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends.
Gorgeous moss-covered interior of a birch wood in the Scottish Cairngorms. Couldn't resist to try a bit of a bokeh shot here, given that I was on my knees and shooting macros of mushrooms anyway ;)
Happy Tree-Mendous Tuesday! :)
Die ersten Sonnenstrahlen trafen an diesem kalten Morgen direkt auf diese Birke und liessen diese regelrecht erstrahlen..
I slowly followed this guy from a safe distance on the road through the marsh.He kept looking back at me in his travels toward the forest up the hill.Just before the light on the road up ahead he went into the bush and disappeared

Couldn’t find anything decent for a winter scene without delving way back to 2010 when we had the heaviest snowfall for my neck of the woods. Anyway, here’s something from my most recent outing. Besides, I’ve not posted a square image in a long time, let alone with a border.
Wishing everyone here on Flickr a Merry Christmas and hopefully a better and more rewarding New Year. Hope to meetup with some of you again.
