Crossed The Path Of Old Badger

Up and about early the other morning through the woods on a dry morning after many days of rain. It was cool in the timber with the scent of new growth all around me, a wood pecker was drumming away he knew I was there but I never saw him. In a place that is not familiar to me I cut on to a path no more than a track . And found where the old badger crosses the ditch (click on mud for nice Badger track) and where wind blown spruce has sent up branches up towards the light and they have became fine trees in their own weird way . It was a nice way to start the day, through the scots pine and out to a bright sunrise :)
