Another adventure at the nature reserve. I discovered that the forest floor, carpeted with pine needles, is actually a wonderful thing! Soft and comfy!

There is something about lying on a forest floor and smelling the natural earth, that thick pine needle scent mixed with ground...wonderfully relaxing!
I kicked off my boots...

and lay down under the trees...

watching the kids make a home for a squirrel out of pine needles and fallen logs.

Seeing all the little spring flowers coming up...


The kids floating their boats down the streams....

and went home quite tired!
Next time you're in a pine-tree forest, take your shoes off (if you have socks on) and walk around...it is fantastic! And then lie down and smell the earth, breathe it in (yes call me whacked!!) I guess I am a bit of a tree-hugging nature freak! ha ha.
Have a good week!

Can't wait for our weather to warm up a bit so we can get outside and enjoy nature. The first signs of spring are starting to show, but still too cold, wet and windy to really get out and about. Love your piccies of the forest and the beautiful blossom ones of the weekend
