A Walk Through La Foret de Tours-Preuilly Part Two

Yesterday's walk holds some really good memories for us, not just for the things we mentioned in yesterday's post, but also for the quality of the light and the sheer peace of the forest... There was hardly a breath of wind to break the surface of the water...

Several times one of another of us commented on the lack of noise. You could literally had heard a pin drop! In fact what we heard dropping were not pins but acorns.... Acorns by the ton! I don't think I've ever seen so many or such large ones. There is certainly food in abundance for some woodland creatures.

The dappled light played on the forest floor, and made for some beautiful photo opportunities...

One creature really stood out in the sunlight. You could hardly miss this Comma, against the silvery grey bark...

Likewise with the Spindleberry. It's waxy fruits looked almost artificial.

We spoke yesterday of a lumber stack; well this is it! Colin, standing next to it, is six foot tall, so it's quite a pile, isn't it?

Then the last lap with the sun fast disappearing..

Isn't that Simon with his groupies, they make a motley crew!

Once again; What a lovely day!! More of the same, please!
