Even if it's just a part of the garden with trees and bushes?<br />I liked reading of what you experienced in Epping, you always make me smile.Albertohttp://altroverde.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424558166690591608.post-1977271453949574052013-04-16T04:40:13.155+01:002013-04-16T04:40:13.155+01:00Woodlands and forests are such interesting place t...Woodlands and forests are such interesting place to visit. I see a twisted tree, and then I find myself wondering why and inventing a story to explain it! When you mentioned your ivy, i chuckled a bit.

It sounds as if your jaws got a workout too! I know what you mean about venturing into the forest alone - I get a bit on edge in forests - it's probably all those childhood tales of Red Riding Hood and wolves. <br /><br />Well done for venturing to the end of the line without being asleep!

Interesting forest.

You have to wonder if animals or winds or some other factor affected them in growing the way they do.

Our temperatures are not as helpful, if you have extreme cold we have extr, and it is searing hot now, 37C with high RH. I always look at the undersides of forests in temperate countries to be easier to traverse because the undergrowths are not as thick as in the tropics. But your trees can produce more bizarre structures.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.com
