A Morning Walk in the Woods Starts Your Day Right

After a rainy day, the sun returned and was quite pleasant, as I was back out walking in the wood. There were plenty of dog walkers out this morning. This usually means dirty trousers for me after the dogs insist on jumping up at me! The loggers have been chopping down diseased trees and also doing some forest management. It looks strange now with some of the trees gone.

I enjoy a woodland trail, it is quite calming walking through the trees, (until a dog jumps on you, of course).

The lichen on the conifer cone usually indicates the air is good. I must admit it did seem very fresh today. Nearly all of the fungi have died off.

It was quite damp in this part of the wood, but the sun was trying to creep through the trees to brighten things up a little. There's nothing quite like it.

I think a good early morning walk sets you up for the day. I feel as though I have achieved something. I also don’t feel so guilty if I go back home and eat some chocolate!
