Yesterday evening I received a text from Sarah at Skycarrots, asking whether we’d like to go for a walk. Of course the answer was yes, so the three of us grabbed our cameras and wandered into the woods.
The light was absolutely beautiful (when the sun tentatively appeared), and I found lots of places that made me think of ideas for my doll-related project.
My little camera behaved remarkably well, considering how much it dislikes working in low light. The photo below hasn’t been edited at all, and I’m really pleased with it.
(The two above have been edited in Lightroom, to make the light in the pictures a little closer to what we could see in real life.)
We also walked along to where the blackthorn trees are, and spotted lots of other fruit along the way. Blackberries, plums, cherries and sumac (a new one to me) are going to be plentiful this year, by the looks of things.
I have so many books now about foraging for edible and medicinal plants. I must start to keep a notebook of where these things are in our local area, so I can recognise them when I don’t have Sarah around to identify everything for me!
