Wednesday walk in autumn forest

My today's Wednesday walk is in the autumn forest.

Riding my bike at the foot of Copper Hill, I explored unfamiliar dirt paths that I had passed but not entered.

I explored two such paths unknown to me. One started with a steep climb and led me to a meadow where the trail ended.

I looked around, and soon between the drooping branches of the trees and the tall grass I saw a stone fountain. I slipped through the branches and approached the fountain. I regret to find that it has long since been abandoned and is not working.

I returned to the main road and headed for the second trail I had set out to explore.

I entered the forest by following a relatively level path. I was pleasantly surprised when at one point I found myself in front of a beautiful area with wide stones and traces of a forest stream.

The stones were large and covered with fresh green moss. Exploaring them more closely I began to discover small mushrooms growing on them. They were of different shapes, sizes and colors.

The mosses formed great soft shapes.

I also found lichens and different types of grasses.

There were also stumps around where I discovered more types of mushrooms.

I also found mushrooms among the fallen autumn leaves.

The water around the stones beautifully reflected the charms of the forest.

I took a short break at this gorgeous place with a lovely hot tea and headed back.

Thank you for stopping by!
