Number 65. The Alder is not always to be rejected; its branches are sometimes beautiful and frequently picturesque; and the leaves, when near the eye, often afford good drawing subjects; though the colouring will not answer so generally as Hazle, yet when properly introduced with other colours it may be found valuable. This is one of the little scenes of which there are so many in the neighbourhood of Ambleside.
