Storm in a Teacup

Miserable day, grey and windy but relatively warm and mostly dry. Fled to the forest in the evening for the walk even though kept looking up into trees to make sure a hanging, half uprooted tree didn't suddenly crash to the ground. The wind wasn't strong enough to uproot any new ones.

Really no photo ops, a reasonable long-distance shot of a kite soaring above us when we had the short stretch of meadows, so just showing this uprooted spruce which shows how very shallow-rooted they are.
