Out in the forest it's that time of year when if you need a hit of green foliage you've got to find yourself some coniferous stands. The juxtaposition between the open, exposed and bare deciduous stands, and the closed and close nature of coniferous woodland is stark. Two completely different world, even more so with the sun streaming through the canopy. It was lovely to disappear into the green world this morning, over it's soft mossy floor, we moved between cool dark shady halls of young conifers and open pockets of tall straight mature pine bathed in light. It was like stepping into another time, or suddenly finding yourself somewhere else, the only tell that gave away the season were seas of russet bracken, beyond that it could have been any time. The air was nice too, clean and fragrant. You can't beat a serving winter greens.
