Scent of Ivy and Fir

This morning's Turkish Delight sky is fragranced with the intoxicating wood-scent of Ivy and fir, blue smoke from the woodmen's coppicing fire permeating the hillside.

Ivy has a symbiotic relationship with so many of our native trees, their trunks resplendent in ivy leaf breeches.  In a way Ivy is the woodland couturier, cladding its chosen host in glorious olive creations in exchange for a drink.  I love wandering through the mall of trees, looking at nature's intricate designs and imaginative colour combinations.


What a fabulous catwalk collection, an arbicultural fashion week...
