Changing Sentinels

28 February 2015 Filed Under: My Surroundings, Twelve by Twelve

Fast forward four years (is it really that long?!), and the view from my studio is changing.  One of the trees was struck by lightning and is in rapid decline with browning limbs. The council is monitoring the tree but it is likely to be cut down in coming months.
