lanes and lanes

farmsteads and isolated farmsteads

and bounded tracks

pheasants, and isolated bounded tracks thread

past stubble, kale

pastures with copses

strips undulating

strips of woodland undulating

of steep, steep woodland

leaves of polypody ferns

and polypody ferns

primroses, celandines

of pennywort and celandines

honeysuckle greenery

of pennywort

honeysuckle and winter greenery

and even the winter

of asphalt

wet asphalt

shadows and out in tractor ruts

and wet and out in the water filled tractor ruts

 and the open

on puddles

water filled, open

the sun, its brilliance on puddles

the sun reflects

reflects its brilliance
