Beltane

I thought that making a Green Man out of actual leaves might be appropriate, but also on my gathering walk on the heath, I found that the masses of gorse bushes were in full bloom. Gorse is certainly a Beltane plant as it looks quite fire-like.

I love how the old stems here are in a flame shape and blackened – I’m not quite sure if this is the result of an actual fire, but it’s a distinct possibility.
