CHILLING OUT IN THE FOREST

 I have been walking in the forest in between showers of rain by myself because we are at the peak of the Omicron wave so we have not been mixing with people very much. Hopefully, next week we will try walking with friends again.  It is so nice and green and calm in the forest. I love seeing the towering trees, the wallabies and the track disappearing into the forest.





I love the bright orange trunks of these trees, that are actually called grey gums or Eucalyptus Punctata.
They have a grey bark, which it sheds in summer to reveal the lovely orange colour.

We have had a very wet summer and the picnic area has turned bright green.

I love seeing different things each day. Here are some: Tiny fungi, fresh raindrops and glowing lichen.

    Masterpieces from your solitary walk.
    I can almost smell the earthy dampish trail.
    Wonderful.

    It looks a beautiful place to walk, and such vibrant colours to enjoy. I love walking on my own - you notice more, I think.

    All you need is a river and it would be absolutely perfect (for me).

    A walk in the woods -- especially one as beautiful as yours -- is a perfect way to 'chill out'. I hope you can soon enjoy your walks with friends.

    Ever since moving to France I have walked alone. Nigel cannot walk far at all sadly because of his feet. Our neighbours that walk do not go very far, he also has a foot problem. It has never worried but in December when I fell, I realised that it was not such a good idea, especially as I was on a farm track not used often. I do though always carry my phone! Keep safe, t'other Diane

    Getting outside and walking in nature even if doing it solo for awhile, Diane, is certainly better then staying indoors.

    Enjoyed your walk and the lovely photographs. Hope all goes well with steps back toward contact with friends. Good friends fuel good mental health as ell as physical health
