Under the Hawthorne

This photo has taken me years to catch!! The old Hawthorne tree grows on the moor by itself just above Castleton.
Whenever I pass there is:- traffic behind me, no sheep, pouring with rain, bad light,
but today:- no traffic, sunny, sheep sheltering, Heather out,
Sorted, I was so pleased, it really made my day,
I've just got to get out a bit more often!!
Better on black

Thank you for all your lovely comments and favs all are very welcome and appreciated.
