I got this book for free 😃 It's an incredible, fully illustrated, children's book about an old growth tree in an ancient forest & the wildlife, flora & mycelium, which all support each other in the ecosystem.

A Tree in the Ancient Forest by Carol Reed Jones & illustrated with drawings by Christopher Canyon.

A really wonderful, educational book that all ages would enjoy & appreciate. This was a fabulous #FreeBook score 💚 It doesn't fit inside my little free library so I'm gifting it to a nearby community center's children's library 😊

Back from a hike in the woods. The trails I chose got a bit muddy in-between, but there was a beautiful silence as no one else was walking there.

Back from a hike in the woods. That's already summer weather at the beginning of May. Also, I lost lots of time following some swathes which ended in a swampy nowhere :)

Back from a hike in the woods. The air was quite cold, but the sun is already really strong, so I made a longer break to just sit in the sunlight for a while.
