Water has endless beauty, so I thought it would make a great subject for a new photo-series.
My first choice is this lovely image of dripping birch branches in the woods around Bracklinn Falls near Callander. A photo of the falls themselves is lined up to appear soon – and they were spectacular, thundering down through the gorge after a few days of torrential rain.

Read about ‘The magic of the birch‘ on The Hazel Tree, or pop over to Folklore Thursday’s new website to read my guest post on birch, ‘The Lady of the Wood‘.

Thanks, Lynne, but I think we’re good for now! 🙂 Bright and frosty this morning though, a welcome change.

Wish it was here, has stopped raining, but just so wet, damp and horrible, never mind 🙂
Jo Woolf
Hope it brightens up, Lynne!

Thank you! Taken during a downpour. But the falls were amazing!

There is something quite magical about raindrops hanging off the leaves of a tree, I think it’s the feeling of everything being rejuvenated after a shower of rain 🙂
Jo Woolf
Yes, and such a fresh feeling of the earth as it drinks it in! There is still magic in rain, no matter how much we get of it! 🙂

That’s so true Jo, we tend to moan far too much about the rain, but it is essential to all of us, and as your photo shows, can be quite beautiful too 🙂
