So February has hurried in and with it longer days and more sun. It is still frosty in the mornings and the ground is still hard. It's the tired part of winter, a season that began at the beginning of November with plans for feasting and fun. Now it's false spring days and a stop/start time for the easing into summer.

Temperate rainforests are a rare and beautiful ecosystem where trees, ferns, mosses, lichens, liverworts, and other species abound. The cool damp climate provides a globally unique environment for plants and animals to thrive. Where it once covered 20% of the UK, it is now less than 1%.

The mist danced and flowed across the hill today as the tower emerged from the silky blanket for just one moment. The photograph was taken in Glastonbury about an hour before sunrise.

I love a visit to some temperate rain forest. Even in winter, the mosses, lichens, and tree ferns make it a predominantly green environment. Nationally, it's a very rare and precious type of ecosystem, but we are lucky to have quite a lot of it around the fringes of Dartmoor.

Mossy bank in the lane at Moortown, near Tavistock last week, Dartmoor #Devon #landscape #mosstodon #photography

It's hoarfrosted. At these times I take pictures of frosty farm tat with my macro gear. It's giving me cravings for churros. #macrophotography #frost.
