Ash

The fifth letter of the tree alphabet. I made this when I was on writing retreat at Cove Park, on the path between the pods and cubes where the residents hide out and the main building. It was interesting to see how many people spotted it, and who just walked over it, even while it was quite legible. Note the ogham character on the bottom curve of the S.
Here's hoping the ash dieback disease does not spread too widely. They are such lovely trees, and the loss of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, would not be a good omen.
