a forest

The second-last of the tiny papercutting suggestions on 3x5 cards. A forest, as suggested by twoeleven Forests are hard, I eventually gave up and cheated by cutting two 3x5 cards worth of forest, and stacking them with some tracing paper. It is, of course, a douglas fir forest. I didn't spend years analyzing data on douglas fir branching patterns for nothing! Woo!

Thank you! Have you spent much time in such a forest? I think of your part of the world as very misty, but not very foresty. :)

I have family in Canada so I'm more aware of Pacific NW rainforests than most Brits (for whom "rainforest" = "Amazonian"). I grew up mostly surrounded by deciduous woodland and small-ish pastures with hedgerows, but dry for temperate England apart from occasional mists and low cloud, and with many mature trees, small skies, and no horizons, although in England the landscape changes every few miles due to our bizarrely varied underlaying geology so there were differing landscapes nearby. So I grew up on The Chalk but not entirely the Tiffany Aching kind where the inhabitants chopped down most of the trees centuries ago.
