Stockhill Woods

Winter Walk – Stockhill Wood, Somerset, UK. ID 824_2165

It was the first snow of the year but despite being the weekend I had too much work to do.  By lunch time I had done enough so I headed up the Mendips for a mid-afternoon’s winter walk around Stockhill Woods – with lots of other people.  This is probably the most popular spot on the Mendip Hills for an easy going stroll.

Beach Trees

After a while I left the families behind.  Here Beach Trees avenues lined the woodland tracks.  Their dark trunks contrasted against the white of the snow.

I turned the pictures to black-and-white but to be honest they looked much the same in colour.  However, loosing the colour did do a good job of hiding the mud.

And Finally…

After an hour I realised I had been photographing natures own barcodes.
