The woods, 10:25
 
I decide to go for a walk in what seems like the first time in a week. I set off at a brisk pace and as I walk through the woods I stop to look at the light.
I stop because I can see one of those views into the trees that looks as though Merlin should appear in the distance where a small glade appears. I wonder if I can catch the effect in a photograph, decide that I probably can’t, and decide to try anyway.
I look at the image closely when I get home and it seems better than I had imagined possible. It doesn’t quite capture what I think I saw but it indicates some of the sense of depth and a little of the Merlin-approaching feeling.
If you squint hard.
