A Misty Morning at the River Brathay

I was out early on Wednesday morning. The forecast wasn't ideal, just v.cold (actually -10C).

I hung around waiting for the sunrise to hit the two oaks in the photo. As the sun reached the valley it kicked off the mist around the water.

I struggled to pick a favourite so these and more hi-res photos from the morning on my website, see my profile for a link.

A picture of trees by a river on a misty day. In the foreground the river is calm and flat and white mist hangs around the banks of the river which are covered with long grass with a heavy frost and some snow. The lower part of the trees are reflected in the river. Further back in the photo a line of trees are starting to catch the first rays of the sun, taking on a golden hue. The two main tree are two large oaks, a rope swing hangs beneath one of the trees. Behind the trees a patch of mist is highlighted in warm light by the sun whilst the rest of the photo has a cold mainly grey/blue hue.

This ancient goat willow is half-tree, half-octopus!

It may have been broken by a Cumbrian storm, but is still very much alive - and supporting lots of other life too. One of my favourite trees 💚

The multiple sprawling trunks of an old goat willow, covered in brilliant green moss, lie spreadeagled across a forest floor in late winter like the arms of a giant tree-octopus. The tree lives and has sent up many smaller vertical trunks from the fallen ones. Some pretty groups of snowdrops are in the foreground.
