Where is that WGW? Somewhere in Limboland? I think I read some stuff about pieces of land starting to get protected over there the other week. Btw, amazing to see nature's flexibility and ability to bounce back from trauma!
This picture was taken in the upper part of Noord Brabant. But it's surrounded by limboland basically.
Winter time is "yamadori"-scouting time for me. So I try to visit another forest every weekend. I visited some sandy clearings in Geijsteren, where there's a huge population of common junipers with a pretty high genetic variation. Some were purple, some were brownhish, others were minty green. There were even some younger specimens but most were 40+ years old. There are some gnarly oaks growing there too, as well as giant amounts of young scots pines. Judging from the piles of pulled dead pines, I'm thinking they want to keep it clear from pines overgrowing these sand patches. That might be a sign that one could easily get permission to collect pinus sylvestris and maybe some nigra.
Of course I'm keeping the best spots to myself ;-) But this one is worth a visit for sure! The junipers have some gnarly natural deadwood. It was too rainy to take pictures though.

Cool, thanks! Yeah they pull young pines out all the time, on the heide around Zwolle and wherever the heide goes they yank out those saplings by the thousands. Would be cool if you were to get a collecting permit for the pines, there's real beauties around there!

Some of the Hawthorn near me are already popping open, think our mild weather which only really dropped in temp the last couple of weeks has confused them a bit.

Greenhouse up finally, minimal blood, only a couple of bits leftover and fits the space perfectly.
Just need to get some silicon and seal it all plus need to cut a little piece off a couple of metal braces to get the sides sured up then it's ready to go. Going to lay some stones and tiles inside before loading it up.

I love how this country plummets into chaos when there's an inch of snow. Luckily, I have to walk just 5 minutes to get to work.

Why don't I see a picture?

There's a bunch of comments after jan 7th that all relate to the jan 7th post. Just a bunch of mosses, no biggie.

Oh. My bad. I thought your thorough description of several kinds of scenes might actually be what was pictured instead of the giant mushroom which wasn't mentioned. Nice mushroom!;)
