Silhouettes

Ash and blackthorn twigs against this morning's gloomy sky.
Prunus spinosa is thought to support over 150 species of insects - hmmm, lots to look for. Not to cut and bring into the house - thought to mean death will follow. The wood was used for walking sticks and cudgels.
Fraxinus Exelsior is the second most common hedgerow tree and currently threatened by ash dieback. Burn ash wood to ward off evil spirits. Make up for picking that Blackthorn!
