From top: Wild ginger (Asarum canadense), also known as Canadian snakeroot; Philadelphia fleabane (Erigeron philadelphicus), a lovely spring aster deserving of a more dignified name; white wood violet (Viola sororia albiflora), a white variation of the common blue violet; woodland phlox (Phlox divaricata), also called wild blue phlox; creeping phlox (Phlox stolonifera), a mountain native and the most delicate and beautiful of Appalachia’s many wonderful phlox species; and Allegheny blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis).

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

Earth Day 2024 🌳 While researching his role as the conservation-minded Dr Astrov in Uncle Vanya, Richard went to Tring Park in Hertfordshire to help with a Woodland Trust project to plant one million trees in a day. “Sometimes people think these exercises are irrelevant or pretentious," he told the Radio Times in June 2021, "but as well as being a fun day out, I found it really useful.”

Headcanon that Elves generally keep to themselves not through the aloofness brought about because of their immortality but because they are fucking helpless when it comes to mortal children.

Any mortal children. Man, Hobbit, Dwarf, any kid. Elflings are beloved for a reason but Elflings are still Elves at heart and do not possess the frankly worrying amounts of curiosity and determination that mortal children have and which gives them a certain aura of adorable that the Eldar cannot resist.

I know Elrond took Aragorn in because they took his mother in but I cannot help but think he also saw a tiny human and it clicked in his (admittedly half-Elven but it still counts) brain that this is an adorable baby and he needs doting on.

#lotr #lotr headcanons #elves #look maybe this came about because I'm reading a really good fic on Ao3 #where Thranduil is his usual bitchy self until the Bardlings set their sights on him #and he's done for #I just like the idea of these immortal idiots going so utterly soft for little babies and adorable kids #like Elrond is doomed in Rings of Power once he properly meets Gerda and Gamli #smol dwarvish kids will steal his heart away #the fic is called My Heart is an Empty Vessel if you're interested #by likethenight #its really fucking good #though its so fluffy my internal angst writer is waiting for the other shoe to drop #it does not trust the domesticity #or Thranduil being happy and spoiling Tilda with presents #Tilda just making friends with the whole Woodland Realm as well #they were helpless against the adorableness #Elves react to mortal kids like we do with particularly adorable puppies #lots of handflapping #and noises that are MOST DEFINITELY NOT highly undignified squeeing

another day another walk !! :)

#its been a lovely day #im so glad i joined the wildlife trust too fr #i was looking on the map for the place i went today and I feel like i could definitely make the walk a lot longer! #its definitely a shout as well to go to these places alone the first time so i can figure out parking and whether it's good to go back to #and then take my friends or parents back another time #i also think it's great that i can just plonk myself in a random woodland/field and walk and walk and walk if i want to like that's so fun #i love nature so much #at one point i started Skipping?! #like what's that about?? i was just so happy to be out in the sunshine in autumn #weather was cold but sun was out it was fantastic

it is unfortunate that you can say you see a dogshit take by an american with 50k+ notes and that absolutely narrows nothing down whatsoever. for that i can only apologize 😔

well the original post was too long to screenshot succinctly and i didn't really want to put All That onto anyone's dash. doing us all a favour to be fair

#it was just this weird attitude that i keep seeing nowadays from americans in regards to british people thats like. We're Better Than You #which is indescribably stupid because then it becomes a pissing contest between two equally horrendous countries #from any other country i wouldn't bat an eyelid because they're probably right but it's just so funny coming from americans. like. say sike #(embarassingly) it was basically crowing about how appalling the wildlife situation is in the uk which is a real and complex issue #and i will save us all from the myriad tag essays i could write on this. but it was written from #an american perspective of 'we're so much better' which i find doubtful at best laughable at worst #it also frustrated me to ignore the huge number of charities and individuals in the uk who have been working so hard against the government #to rewild and reintroduce key species. is the woodland trust a joke to you??

Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic, Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms. Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.

I heard a bluebell ring for me,

So I put down my bag,

And stopped my reaching.

No point in trying to catch the sun

Like a prism and bedroom wall -

I cannot take him with me,

Nor the moon in Yeats' silver bag,

Were that a possibility. I heard

The bluebell ring and ceased

My vain attempts at living less

With more, and gave my weary arms

A break from carrying the things

That I cannot take with me.

#my writing #so there's this folklore that says if you hear a bluebell ring then it means you're gonna die #source: woodland trust page on bluebella #bluebells* #anyway #poetry #death tw #suicide tw #bc thats what i was actually thinking about oops #dw im not gonna the suicidal thoughts mostly stopped once i figured out how to make carrying on my PhD more likely #ANYWAY ANYWAY #uh #nature poetry #? #yeats #idk man

Fungi and lichens...Two Toned Pholiota by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Magical and mistrusted. Toadstools and mushrooms are associated with ancient taboos, dung, death and decomposition. But trees rely on fungi and we're just starting to understand how close this relationship is: great networks that link and support trees and woodland life. They come in dazzling shapes, colours and sizes; even working with other species to produce different organisms.
