This continuing series of posts depicts our beautiful world, encouraging viewers to share them and help save our unique home from human carelessness and indifference.
Today’s photo depicts an almost invisible narrow path through a small copse of silver and rough birch trees under the March sun in the Forest of Dean. The elegance of these short-lived trees is a surprise, given their propensity for being among the first plants to populate ground that has been used industrially. But there they grow, absorbing pollutants and preparing the ground for future, more delicate, plants.

I post every Saturday here, but also share a different picture of natural beauty at the end of most days, with the hashtag #ourworldiswonderful, on FaceBook, Threads, Instagram, and on the newer social media platform, BlueSkySocial, which no longer requires an invite. Join me there, and on LinkedIn.

They are indeed, Noelle. Each day we venture into the forest there are a few more buds bursting, a few more leaves on the trees. Today, I came across the first dandelion of the season!

I’ve seen dandelions here for about a month! They are pretty hardy!

Yes, Noelle. I normally see them in the garden first, the one I saw yesterday was on a public footpath leading into the forest. They are, of course, a great source of food for the early bees.
