Wood Anenome, Strathspey, Scotland. Wood Anenome photographed this week in evening light – carpeting the floor of the birch wood.  These are the famed “wooden enemies” that lurk in the woods in children’s imagination. “The Temple bell stops, but I still hear the sound coming out of the flowers.” – Basho, Japanese poet, 1644-1694.
