My photos in this continuing series depict our beautiful world, encouraging viewers to share them and help save our unique home from human carelessness and indifference.
Today’s photo is from the Forest of Dean and shows January sunlight filtering through the tall pines and firs of a plantation on a slope. We have seen buzzards, deer, wild boar, grey squirrels, songbirds of many types, butterflies, and many other woodland birds in this part of the forest. It’s a wonderful place to forget the troubles of world and re-connect with nature, to lose yourself in a natural place so often forgotten in our modern lifestyles.

That bright sunny day looks like it could be very early spring. Our January has been quite a tough one for this area although it’s starting to recover now. Cheers.

In contrast, Lynette, our January has been milder than usual, though cold enough for me! It follows one of the wettest Decembers we’ve ever experienced, so that occasional sunshine is most welcome.

Lovely light and a good uphill climb!

Thanks, Noelle. It’s one of those walks where the hill seems to go on for ever. But worth every step!

Probably not a walk I would like if it’s relentlessly uphill, but then you have to come down, right?

Actually, with my knees, coming back down is more challenging than climbing, Noelle. But this is a wandering track through the trees, where you can be close to nature and free from the irritations of the world, so worth every breathless step. Once at the top, a local viewpoint can be reached, by a short trek across mostly open ground, from which you can view the wide vista of the Wye Valley and some of distant Wales. Oh, and there’s a bench up there to rest your wearies on.
