Fascinating read x it would make a good book x
my version from the #ForestOfDean a couple of winters ago a storm split an old oak near my home it was too dangerous to examine closely the poor sheep lying nearby died a long death it is thought trapped unseen by a branch
I wish I could’ve helped
An advertisement for wild boar rides in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. It pictures a person wearing a safety helmet riding on a large wild boar.
I really hope I can revisit the #ForestOfDean again this year. In addition to my #FamilyHistory research, how about this as a new way to explore the Forest? Wondering if it follows the Frail Loop trail … may as well go the full hog!
Now would be a *great* time to support your local Community Energy group 🙂

A Robin approached my log cabin looking down hearted at not finding any peanuts. What a grumpy face!
A Robin decides he will not sing until he is fed peanuts. Feet tapping in confidence!
After being fed peanuts a Robin sings his heart out in thanks!
Pic 1: No nuts, I am not happy!
Pic 2: Not singing until I get some nuts!
Pic 3: Thanks for the nuts Linda. Do you like my song?
Robins sure drive a hard bargain. Good night to all & thank you! x

Tracks in the forest evidence of machinery for the logging of trees. Soaked by the rain and with the arrival of the sun, creates an image of bright green moss and glistening mud.
You will find many tracks in the forest. Some are visible and others not so. The combination of rain, sun, wet brown soil against the moss and trees spoke loudly!

You have to react quickly sometimes

A View looking towards the sky while standing in the middle of a pine forest of trees.
My final day in the Forest of Dean. The forest is a connected community. Underneath these trees and looking towards the sky, many lessons for humans and humanity in how we need to be more like trees.

One of many paths and tracks through the Forest of Dean. Used by walkers and the Forestry Commission maintaining woodland.
On #forestfriday it would be wrong of me not to share an image of one of the many paths through the #forestofdean.

A female blackbird. She is surveying the land around the kitchen window and waiting to dive in for fresh berries.
It is pouring with rain and from my hide (the kitchen) I am being visited by many birds in the forest. A bird in a post or, a poster bird. Take your pick!
