Craig Phadric forest in late July (Patreon)

I had an evening stroll in Craig Phadric forest yesterday. It was raining heavily all day and I expected to walk in a drizzle. The weather had a nice surprise for me. It was gorgeous.

What I love about the forest is that it always changes. It is a managed forest and bits get cut out periodically. Some places used to be covered in trees and after being felled turned into open meadows. Now they are grown over with new trees and some with brambles.

This year, like never before, the whole forest is covered in raspberries! It's great snacking on them while walking. 

I snapped some photos on my phone to share with you. If you had a chance to read my blog Moon with a nose! you will remember lunar terminator and long shadows I wrote about. Since my walk was in the evening you can see this effect. Everything is well defined and sharp basking in a golden light. Real joy to see.
