Beech against the sky


Winter trees silhouetted against the sky show the structure of the tree, which is largely hidden in summer.  They are also, like this beech near post 2, a wonder in themselves, something to pause and stare at for a few moments.

Beech twigs are recognised by their long, thin, pointed buds.

The twigs zig-zag with a bud projecting at each angle.
