Photographer's Note
Hello Everyone,
My last photograph showed an imaginary Komodo Dragon searching amongst the bluebells and I was tempted to title this as an imaginary 'Giant Anaconda' but was eager to draw attention to the importance of dead trees and branches within an environment, as well as providing visual imagery.
Woodland experts inform us that dead wood is the richest habitat within a healthy forest. It supports a huge variety of wood-boring invertebrates and an array of fungi.
A fifth of Britain's invertebrates depend on dead wood to survive. So a forest with plenty of dead timber provides more food for a cornucopia of insect-eating birds, including nuthatches, warblers and woodpeckers. Large trees, in which rot holes more easily develop, are good places, too, for hole-breeding species like bats, jackdaws and tawny owls.
My workshop will show how plants develp well alongside dead branches, too.

Hello Beverley, my neighbour today.
I appreciated your notes today, something that I was trying to emphasise in some of my more recent pictures of trees.
This branch certainly looks like an Anaconda as you suggest.
The beautiful bright green of the newly opening leaves is such a welcome sight, and the blue of the bluebells adds so much to the view.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Bev,
Two informative photos and notes, but especially the main photo is also well composed with a diagonal anaconda, verticals of trees still standing and large areas of blue, green and brown. In case you ever get visits from hedgehogs they will appreciate a heap of dead twigs, branches and leaves for hibernation.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Beverley,
I like the diagonal that the large piece of dead wood creates right in the middle of the composition. The bluebells look so lovely again and make a great combination with the trees and the green parts.

Hi Bev,your photo of the WS is in fact the best explanation for your notes, garlic grows perfectly among the decaying wood and gets nourishment. Of course, the photo with the anaconda in the blue carpet is also beautiful! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hi Bev,
This must be a place to relax and enjoy nature. The point of view is showing the details od the trees and of the flowers. The light is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Beverley,
Luckily for England there are no native anacondas, boas or pythons in the forests. The fallen branch at first glance resembles a large snake. The blue flowers add a splash of colour. Tfs!

Dear Beverley,
Its hard not to see that the tree trunk and the curve of the flowers on the bg. create a semi-circle. The lonely hiker is a nice addition.
Best Wishes,
Gy.

Hi Bev,
Blue flowers are pretty rare, so it's great to see masses of them forming a blue carpet on the forest floor. The snake-like dead trunk in the foreground creates a nice shape, as well as a home for numerous creepy-crawlies. Good colour and composition.

Hello Beverley,
The bluebells give the forest a more park view. But the dead tree makes it clear that it is a real forest where nature can take its course.
Reading your note makes it clear to me that it is best not to just sit on a fallen tree. After all, I would sit on the food of a lot of birds. Food that could be alive, too :)
Best regards, Paul
