Simply..looking outward....

22/7/2016

Immediately behind the yellow gate is the (single track) road between us and the forest.
The forest is coniferous but with a deciduous edge of beech, sycamore, oak, ash and willow.

A wonderful 'borrowed landscape'.

Between the fuchsia and the azalea is another glimpse into the forest.

The garden is my sanctuary, but It's good to look outwards too, both literally and metaphorically....

This is beautiful Freda. Your garden weaving into the edge of the wood.

In the context of my (internet) course I have been reading about The Dark Forest as well as The Enchanted Forest. It being coniferous at heart your forest -at least to me- seems to be both.

You do have a lovely way of expressing things - my garden 'weaving into the wood'....

The little yellow gate absolutely makes that view. I like the term 'borrowed landscape'. I guess all our landscapes are borrowed really - makes you wonder why people spend so much time fighting over them!

I love the concept of borrowed landscape - it is an aspect many people forget to consider (and wouldn't it be wonderful if we could stop fighting over them!)
