Into the Woods

There are many different woods to explore in the suburbs of Riga, Latvia. Most of them take you in a green and magical world where it seems you are miles from civilization. You can find large moss-covered rocks, like the one I am sitting on, to take a rest. Most of them have some small streams for the wildlife, and you can hear birds chirp in the trees. And believe it or not, that is another dress I still have today. The shoes are long gone.

@AmbiePam Thank you; those were my better days. The memories are great; I'm just wondering how long it will take me to complete going through my stuff and how many more years I'll be within four walls. Ain't that a kick in the head?

The wood in the photo is so much alike the woods behind our building. I love the green and the noise of the stream.

@RasmaSandra - We are very lucky, the wood is behind our building, we can walk to the wood through the path that starts 4 minutes walk from home.

I sure miss my travels into the woods when I would travel with my relatives to visit my late grandparents farm in the interior of Panama.

Beautiful photo. I love walking into the woods but not alone. We have a lot of forests nearby where I can walk and enjoy the nature and the chirping of the birds.

@thelme55 I always enjoyed getting away to the woods. Have you ever been to the Black Forest?

@RasmaSandra Yes, I have been to Schwarzwald (Black Forest). It’s a beautiful and peaceful forest. I liked walking there. Sadly, it is far from where I live. Anyway, we have a lot of forests here.

@Ineeddentures my husband and I were together for 20 years, and it seems like only yesterday, and I wish we had had at least another 20.

That's surely a beautiful part of woods. Reminds me of my days in the Terai forests. I accompanied my mother picking mushroom.
