Added 2024-11-05 14:14:17 +0000 UTCI got out into the real forests. the air was filled with the spicy scent of pine needles and a light frost that tickled my skin. My hike began early in the morning, when the sun was just waking up, and a light haze enveloped the tops of the trees. At first the path was simple, I walked along the forest path, occasionally stopping to admire the cranes flying in a wedge to the south. It was so quiet that I could hear every step - the soft crunch of leaves under my feet and the echo of my own thoughts merging with the whispering of the trees. At one point I came upon a stream, and it seemed to me that the water was tinkling, as if little elves were dancing there.A little farther on I met a forest dweller - a little hedgehog. He stood at the edge of the path, blinking his tiny eyes at me. I carefully stopped and, trying not to scare him away, watched him sniffing at me. It seemed that he was about to jump back into the foliage, but to my surprise, the hedgehog was not frightened, and continued his leisurely journey towards the thicket, as if not noticing me. Moving further into the forest, I came across glades with the remnants of the first frost - white crystals of frost on the grass, sparkling in the morning sun like small jewels. It was as if nature was showing its mysterious magic, and I felt that I was in a completely different world, far from the bustle of everyday life. But the most amazing moment came when I suddenly heard the crackling of branches nearby and froze. At first I thought it was the wind, but after a few moments I saw a moose appear from the bushes. He strode majestically out into a small clearing and, ignoring me, began to nibble at the grass. Standing still, I watched this forest giant and could not help but marvel at its strength and calmness, at the harmony with which it was part of nature. This day gave me an unforgettable feeling of peace and admiration for nature💘
