A Walk in the Woods

Silver Birch B+W

Silver Birch (Betula Pendula) provides spectacular spindles of white bark that peels like paper, gnarled with dark crevices. They always provides a photographic opportunity, evoking one of my favourite series of photographs by Ansel Adams; Aspens. Whilst both trees may exhibit a similarity, they actually belong to different families. The Silver Birch belongs to Birch family whereas the Aspen belongs to the Willow family.

This is a subject I will return to.
