December, January, February.
.Tunnicliffe very wisely made the whole of December, January and February the period covered in ‘What to look for in Winter.’ book which is obvious when you study the images for instance in the second illustration page seven the oak tree still holds it’s leaf and the fern is green while fungi is still emerging from the little warmth left in the soil. I started recording my images at the winter equinox more fool me because taking into account the three week difference in start time and the fact that I live in the Highland Scotland and Tunnicliffe spent most of his life in Anglesey Wales there was going to be a miss match time wise with the decay and rebirth of flora and fauna pictured
I was hoping to respond. to each week with two sepias relating to two illustrated pages in the book and also a picture weekly related to particular Scottish environments such as Caledonian pine forest, mountain, moorland, birchwood and lochside to mention a few.
