Carkeek’s twisty ol’ apple orchard

Sam and I ‘xplored the other(not towards beachy goodness) end of Carkeek park a few weeks ago.

Much to our delight we found a gnarly old orchard where many of the ancient, twisty apple and pear trees had slipped lazily down onto the ground and were still growing, sideways in lovely loopy patterns.

There was much climbing and basking and adventuring along the windy stream with it’s lovely mossy rocks and perfect walking logs..

I added this bunch o’ pics to my Carkeek set on Flickr.

Ah, what a beautiful world!
