Borgue Tree
Just outside Borgue there is a big old beech tree that has its roots out on the ground surface. In winter, the low light catches the roots very effectively.
Wind & Trees
This is the effect of the prevailing winds on our coastal trees. Here is a hawthorn tree just coming into leaf as the gorse in the foreground is in full flower.
Here are a couple more trees right down by the coastal footpath near Knockbrex House.
Gorse and Blackthorn
This spring has been a very good one for the gorse blossom. It seems to be more abundant and brighter than in previous years.
The coastal wind shapes some of the gorse into interesting shapes. Even a battered old bush like this one is still flowering profusely.
The Blackthorn has also been looking good. Hopefully this will give us a good crop of sloes later in the year. We are still enjoying the sloe gin that we made with last year’s sloes.
