A serene picture of wild ponies in the New Forest. The one on the far left was heavily pregnant (you could see the foal within kicking!) and so we kept our distance - as you always should with the ponies anyway. Find out more information here: https://www.thenewforest.co.uk/explore/wildlife-and-nature/ponies/

A serene scene of a clearing in the New Forest on a fine day, taken from under a canopy of trees. Four wild ponies can be seen eating the grass - one in the shade of trees and the others out in the open. Tree branches and leaves fill the top half of the picture.

Here's a piece I wrote a decade back, reflecting on summer visits spent in the Wisconsin landscape I grew up in. Just lightly edited it, and I'm pretty happy with the result!

Breaking in new boots on a hike up Moylussa Hill, overlooking Lough Derg in County Clare. The sky was moody, the summit windy

#hiking #walking #lakes #woods #woodland #hills #landscape #Ireland #nature #photography

Wide photo of Irish landscape. The bottom two-fifths are dense woodland, mostly commercial evergreens, with a few bursts of yellow-flowered furze (gorse). The top two-fifths are light-grey, overcast sky. Sandwiched between them is an expanse of grey-blue lake, extending into the middle distance. On its left-hand shore are scattered houses and farmland; on the right, a range of hills with patchy tree cover.

Sunny day but windy, so I went for a walk in the woods. A walk in the woods is always helpful. Can I just live in the woods, like the birds?

#trees #nature #woods

A big, old beech, which splits into two thick trunks halfway up. The ground immediately beneath it is clear but it is surrounded by a circle of slender trees. Everything is in full leaf, bright green, and the sky behind is bright and blue.

Went out to the MacCready Reserve to get my #druid on yesterday-- I'm guessing MSU must be studying the effects of controlled burns? The shift from green to black was very abrupt.

It was a gorgeous day for #hiking in the #woods, though, and between my runed walking stick and my #flute, I definitely think I'm starting to earn Local Cryptid status.

A small collection of BnW shots, just from a local wander.

The clouds lent themselves to the monochrome really well, as did the stone works.

“The forests of Skye and Raasay are set in a stirring landscape of jagged mountains, deeply indented sea lochs and gentle coastal fringes. They have trails for all energy levels, fabulous views and some of the islands' best places to see wildlife.”

These woods are on the Two Churches Walk which is very near Dunvegan

“If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise If you go down in the woods today, you'd better go in disguise For every bear that ever there was  Will gather there for certain because  Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic” Perhaps not bears but the fairies are known to inhabit this dappled wood.

Grotty rainy bank holiday Monday. So another pic from yesterday with sunshine, trees and a promising track leading who knows where.

I finished a new 3d artwork today: "Old CO2 Scrubber Tower". In the late 22nd century, with atmospheric carbon restored to healthy levels, the CO2 scrubber towers have fallen into disuse, and nature has begun to reclaim them. #digitalart #ScienceFiction

My photos only show a small area along the trail but this hill is covered in Mayapples. It's quite something.

The local woods today. First spring colour appearing on some trees. Others, like aspen, still think it's winter. The cold east wind isn't very spring-like either. #Cairngorms #strathspey #woods #trees #spring

Lots of Mayapples on the trail as well as Andersonglossum, wild comfry which has simple, five petaled flowers. Very pretty evening bird song including: summer tanager, northern parula, and red-eyed vireo.

Really nice trail ride today. Lots of wild flowers. Hypoxia hirsuta, common goldstar, one of those that's currently blooming.

Another photo from my hike today. Looking down this corridor of trees with the way the light was in there I just had to take a photo of it.

This is one of my very favorite #ponds to visit in all seasons in #Guelph #Ontario Canada. The morning light filtering through the green leafy #trees creates a magical #spring scene with wonderful blue and green water #reflections and a rustic wooden #boardwalk that leads to the trail through the #woods.

One of my favourite old beech trees in Barna Woods, Galway

#trees #woods #ThickTrunkThursday #walking #nature #mosstodon #NaturePhotography

A bare old beech tree on a gently sloped clearing in the woods. Its trunk is hollow, with an opening like a tall, narrow inverted V. The lower trunk is patched with moss. There are a few large mossy rocks resting on the carpet of dead brown leaves at the base of the tree. A pale sky is visible through the many upper branches. Behind the tree, along the perimeter of the clearing, is a row of younger, greener trees.

We took a walk this morning down to 'our' river. In the summer it (almost) dries up, but plenty of water today after the snow we had a while back.

2023 Photo Challenge 51/365
This shot was on my way down one of the back roads of the Upper Peninsula. Idea was to combine this shot with a shot from just the moon. I still might try to rip the sky out and replace it with a clear sky at one point. This is the base image so I used a flashlight to do my best to illuminate all the trees on this one side. #nighttimephotography #upperpeninsulamichigan #woods #fallnight #photo #photoexperiment #photoshopedit #2023photochallenge

The Woods (a brief excerpt)

Walk slowly
Lest your clattering shatters the hair-triggered nerves of the creatures who flap and scatter to sky and earth
Walk slowly
As if a giant astride this low kingdom of crackles and crunches
where scurry the obsidian lords of loamy nooks and rooted crannies
Listen carefully
To the caress of the breeze through leaves and grasses where rises the hymnal hum of stained glass wings or the callous caw of black-cloaked villains

Black and white square format image shot from the ground looking up and showing the thick, interwoven tendrils of an ivy plant which is growing up the trunk of a tree. The ivy branches are so thick it raises the question of whether the plant is slowly killing the tree or is this a symbiotic relationship?
Black and white square format image taken at water level on the edge of a lake showing ripples of water in the foreground and in the background stands a tree, its trunk seeming to emerge from the water and its branches hanging down into the lake
Black and white square format image showing the sunlight penetrating a dark forest, illuminating the slender branches of a small deciduous tree and some of the leafy forest floor, while all the surrounding coniferous trees are cast into shadow, looming menacingly over the smalller tree which feels very much like an outsider
Black and white square format image showing the roots of an ancient tree spreading like tendrils or fingers into the forest floor, as if holding on to the earth to secure the tree and provide a home for the myriad creatures who inhabit the dark earth beneath

Oh the woods this morning! What gifts she gave me. Please gaze upon my new mushroom best friends. An entire 7ft (or so) section of fallen birch covered in these babies. 💚

Amplifying good news as a counter-balance to my usual gloomy trade in UK politics/Covid.

Community buys Gorne Wood - the closest surviving patch of ancient woodland to the City of London - to protect it from developers.

"Over hundreds of years, gnarly oaks, field maples and even elms have grown there, providing a sheltered habitat for slow worms and endangered hedgehogs, and nesting sites for sparrowhawks, owls and woodpeckers."

What could be more relaxing than sitting on an old wooden bench that sits on a carpet of fallen leaves under a Maple tree in autumn with the woods all around you? It's a perfect place to enjoy the sounds of nature. #Guelph #Ontario

Went wandering in Monivea Woods today and came across an old ice house

#woods #walking #Galway #IceHouse

A curious structure built in a clearing of evergreen woodland. It's a low, angular dome, about 1 metre tall and 3–4 metres across. Its gable end has open grey brickwork and a small rectangular opening leading into the ice house. From the sides it looks like a miniature hill with stone borders and patchy grass growing on it. Around it is a rough path with scattered steps.
