Such an exotic medley of harmonising colour and branches. A superb painting that I could look at all day, Martin.

Finally sprayed bits of water then dropped salt on the lower part. All very loose

I’ve been reading The Hidden Life of Trees as recommended by my POL friend Marjorie and was fascinated to learn about communication between trees.
