Didn’t manage to get out this week, but here’s some of my favourite trees taken so far this year around western #Dartmoor, #Devon #photography
From top left, beech at Burrator, yew at Sampford Spiney, hawthorn near Brentor, beeches, Plasterdown, oak near Sheepstor, willows at Burrator, hazel at Burrator woods, oak near Pew tor.
I love this video of Bellever in November 2024 I found. It was very cold with a light dusting of frost, there was a beautiful mist over the river and that night snow fell. #Dartmoor, #Devon #photography

Happy Autumn Equinox! The equinox is an astronomical event when the Sun is directly over the Earth’s equator before it dips for us in the northern hemisphere in the darker half of the year.
The Equilux is on Friday, This is the actual day of equal light, in the UK.
And happy spring equinox for those in the southern hemisphere ☀️. #autumnequinox
The O brook (the stream that runs under saddle bridge), yesterday, a lovely wild spot near Combestone tor, Dartmoor, #Devon. The area is the site of a rare dragon folklore story on #Dartmoor, although a relatively recent one, the dragon was seen in the tin mine workings in the 19th century. The ‘dragon’s breath’ reported by locals was most likely vapour from tin mining. #photography #folklore

One of my favourite places on Dartmoor is Wistman's Wood, and I took a friend to see it, on a warm and sunny day, earlier this month.
A short walk from the road takes you to a boulder-strewn hillside, densely-packed with stunted oaks, mosses, lichens, and ferns; a small oasis of residual temperate rainforest in the barren expanse of the Moor.
It's a magical spot.
