Winter Trees



The contribution of trees to the landscape should never be an issue. Only here on land designed by grouse shooters do we actually have to defend them. Like having to defend nature itself.


These mornings are great for looking down, spotting footprints, hare badger and fox included.


But when you look up it's the sheer elegance of the black branches against the sky an hour before full daybreak that makes the views memorable. Spring and autumn have wonderful moments but never underestimate the power of winter to inspire.
