At the side of the Almond Track, which leads from the house down to the river and our almond field, an olive tree hangs on precariously, clinging to the earth, its roots unveiled to the air. 
Below, the web of roots is a fascinating glimpse below ground at how these trees are anchored – their roots are surprisingly shallow – and how the roots of neighbouring plants get entangled. There is something delicate and lace-like, reminding me of fine hand-worked Nottingham lace.

And this penchant to cling to almost nothing suggests its longevity.
Wonderful photos, as always.
