This forest is located in the so-called taiga zone. This is an absolutely wild forest in which trees grow by themselves and many different animals live. For example, in this forest I saw moose, wild boars, bears and many different small animals and birds. Here I collect mushrooms and berries. But it is now. And before, I even went to this forest to hunt.
In addition, this forest has become my pharmacy. Tinder fungi, lichens, fly agarics, tree needles, various plants, berries and mushrooms are a source of medicinal substances. I have not taken pills for many years and also saved myself from covid by the gifts of the forest.
Today we will not specifically look for anything. We just walk through the spring forest. It now has almost no mushrooms that can be put in a pan. More precisely, they are, but the choice is not very large, mostly morels. But there will be a separate mushroom post about them.
Take a look at the sky. The absence of clouds means a nice dry day. But it is better to go into the forest in rubber boots. You will see why later.
There is always a lot of shade inside the spruce forest, and on a sunny day there is too much contrast for photography.
Even a sunny meadow quickly turns into a dense shade under the trees. But I like these transitions.
Remember I told you about rubber boots? There is a lot of melt water in the forest now. By the way, this edge of the swamp. Water is here even in summer.
But I will take you to the pine forest, it is much lighter and more cheerful.
By the way, if you have the opportunity to visit both spruce and pine forests, I recommend starting with a visit to the spruce part of the forest. Spruce has negative energy and well removes excess and unnecessary energy from you. It levels your biofield. But at the same time, you can lose some of your energy.
Pine has positive energy and is happy to share it with a person. After the spruce forest, wander among the pines. If you hug one of them and communicate with her, then your energy will increase.
The taiga, through which I wandered, alternated with pine and spruce forests. Sometimes there were roads, and sometimes swamps.
And of course, there was a lot of water in different qualities, even on the roads, not to mention swamps.
Nevertheless, my trip to the forest was successful. I rested well, although my legs were more tired than rested. But it's a pleasant fatigue.
