Some sort of ruin in the woods with a sycamore growing from it. Possibly a building connected to an old, nearby railway that transported coal. #trees #photography #DerwentValley
A sycamore growing out of a tumbled down, mossy, ruined wall.

A clump of primroses at the base of a tree. Growing out of the dead leaves. Bluebells beginning to carpet a patch of woodland floor. Not quite fully covering the ground yet!
