From shadow into light. Pictures taken on our forest walks, to brighten the day for those confined inside. Here, in the UK, the authorities have relaxed outdoor activities to allow people to travel away from their immediate area for exercise.

Pictures taken on our forest walk to brighten the day, especially for those confined inside. Something a little different today; a shot taken from the top of the hill of the village surrounded by the forest. And a shot on the way to the top. If you enjoy this, please share it, so others can …

Pictures taken on our forest walk to brighten the day, especially for those confined inside. And, today, a lovely walk, captured as a photo essay, to celebrate my 72nd birthday.
