It was a glorious sunny day when we began our walk ... Frodo was so happy to be out in the woods, he would run ahead as if to lead the way, then lay in wait and jump out at us!
We can see you Frodo!
Our walk started with a steep climb thorough moss covered rocks ..some the size of a small car!
There was even a nice size cave located on the upper level ! Nope I didn't go up to see if it was occupied!
Some of the branches where heavily laden with moss and lichen. Giving you the feeling they where age old guardians of the forest!
Looking up through the canopy 100 feet above you made you feel like you were spinning!
Now I wish that I had Carl standing beside these trees as you can not really appreciate how big they where without a size reference....oh well you will have to beleive me that the bases where more than 36 inches easily!
Take a look at the size of that Birch tree on the right!!
It was old, but helping to support a new sapling growing by its side....
Some of the mosses coating the dead stumps was incredibly long giving the impression it was like a soft warm coat protecting the stump.
Making our way down the hill and back out into "the other world"!
I have never been so enchanted by a walk in a forest before! I am soooo glad we were able to do this!
