Beckett Park Beech leaves

Following on from last week's pics of near translucent Beech leaves in wintery afternoon light, this week Ive enjoyed contrasting views of the foliage as sunshine streams through the woodland margin, bathing the Beech leaves in a glorious golden glow. What an incredible difference a little light makes to the look and feel of a woodland.

The new shoots are visible alongside last year's leaves.

Here's the area of woodland that they're from, the Beech saplings flank the path extending an autumnal feel to the woodland way into the early days of March.
