Springing through the mosses

Springing through the mosses
And nibbled by deer,
Deep pink through sunshine and hail.
New leaves among old
And old leaves in dips and pools
As the wet brae drains to the sea.
A sometime lightness and whiteness
On hills across the loch.

Early springtime boggybrae style:

Grass through moss. If it were a lawn rather than greensward, and if it were not so wet, I'd be mowing by now.

Daffodil leaves bent under moss


The daff on the right is the first to open


Moss puddle and fuchsia shoots

 Foxglove on mossy wood (slices of old spruce trunk)

 Monkey flower (Mimulus guttatus) leaves

A wee tree through moss - silver birch, possibly

 Sorrel through moss


Roe deer nibblings: bluebell leaves and yellow flag leaves. Just one bit of the latter – bit sour, perhaps?



Deep pink in spite of the hails and hoolie winds


Unopened daisy, surprisingly pink

New leaves through old

The mossy hill-drip

into my drain


And the cold far side of the loch between showers
