Primrose and Celandine frame this view by

Watered by deep roots of history,
humble plants now steal this view,
a carpet for a forgotten queen,
travellers rest for winged of flight.

Yes I know, a colour picture..thud!

The first of spring rush to grace the land between the moats at Sheriff Hutton’s second castle, in North Yorkshire.

This can become a carpet of flowers, a short reign before the trees claim the light.

Best viewed large.

    Sacrificing for your art!! The venture into color pays off for you Richard! In B&W the ghosts can be felt…the blue sky and sunlight only hints at the spirits who dwell here!!
