It might seem a strange time to be blogging about winter, when daffodils are in full bloom and bluebells are shooting up, but the reason will become clear if you read on.
In winter many plants, like this spectacular tree, die back and appear to be lifeless. But experience tells us they are merely dormant, and will burst into life again in the spring. Nevertheless, even in the midst of winter the tree is teeming with life. Ferns, mosses, algae and lichen grow on it, countless small creatures hide in its nooks and birds find shelter and food there.
Sometimes however, the tree dies. Perhaps it succumbs to old age, or disease, or it gets blown over in the winter storms. Even then, though it dies, it is not the end of life. As it decays, fungi will take root in its rotting wood and many insects will feast on it. As it gradually turns into rich humus it will provide fertile soil for other plants to grow in, and its own seeds will grow up to renew the cycle of life.
