Good morning. In all the heat, early morning strolls into my local little Forest has been my sanctuary, despite it not looking at its best in the drought we have! 🌲 Wishing everyone a good day and weekend ahead 🕊️💚

A photograph through some Pine Trees across the woodland floor that is mainly filled with bracken. Many of the bracken fronds have now turned brown due to extreme heat and drought. Taken in early morning light as sunlight shines through highlighting the right side of the tree trunks in to the distance.

This looks so inviting and soothing. I’m glad you have this sanctuary. There has been a big wildland fire near me, so I’m especially thankful to see your surviving forestlands in the drought. I’m ever so appreciative of Nature, especially now. 💚 Take care and be well. 🙏🤍🙏

Helen Bennett 🌿 · 1 · 4h ago
