Wistful moments

Wood carving

Had a lovely walk out this afternoon to Risley Moss nature reserve. Risley Moss is an area of peat bog situated near Birchwood in Warrington, England. It covers an area of 210.5 acres (85.2 ha) and is one of the last remaining fragments of the raised bogs that once covered large areas of South Lancashire and North Cheshire. Natural depressions in the glacial drift left by the ice sheets which covered the Cheshire?Shropshire plain during the last ice age, 10,000?15,000 years ago, filled with water, forming the meres and mosses characteristic of the area today.

Followed a trail through the reserve, filled with oak trees, to an observation point passing many wood carved sculptures such as this. A very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. :-)
