My walk this week revisits a walk taken in our local park in June two years ago. There have been some changes to the park in that time, but I was focusing on the natural growth then, just as I do now.
The last two photos in the sequence below were in fact taken in April and then June this year and show the stump of a tree in the middle of the footpath through the woods. The stump of the cut tree clearly refused to die and the photo from June demonstrates its determination to live and thrive again.
The recording I made two years ago, of a song thrush in the woods has not lost any of its beauty for me, so although I do not have a soundscape from June this year, I have enjoyed listening to this again and I hope you will too.

Oh how I enjoyed this truly enchanting walk through the park, Alastair. The song thrush recording is magical, as we walk through the emerald forest looking at the beauty that abounds. Great that you were able to get a photo of the thrush, too, espec. lovely on that mossy limb. The wildflowers in the light, grass and other growing delights, and the stump in April and then again in June showing its life force. Thank you so much for this sanguine visit in the park.
Thank you Jet – you are very kind
Wow to the Song Thrush recording and your series of photographs, including the Thrush.
They are such beautiful birds with a wonderful voice. Thank you and pleased you enjoyed.
