The national park consists of wild forest over rugged terrain. The national park covers 2,030 hectares (5,000 acres). At the beginning of the Middle Ages, the forest of Tiveden was a hiding-place for outlaws, who took refuge there.

We are in transition!
Soon the leaves will have turned colour and will have dropped - all beautiful phases of the forest!

In the wake of a refreshing rainfall, the Troodos mountains unveil their enchanting mystique, shrouded in a delicate veil of mist. As the sun begins to peek through the wisps of fog, it casts a soft, ethereal glow upon the lush, verdant forest below. Towering pine trees stand proudly, their branches adorned with glistening droplets of water, reflecting the gentle rays of light like a myriad of diamonds. The damp earth emanates an earthy aroma, invigorated by the recent downpour, as the mist swirls and dances among the moss-covered rocks and fern-filled crevices. A sense of tranquility permeates the scene, inviting one to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of nature's embrace amidst the Troodos mountains after the rain.

Try to touch with your ear to the bark of Japanese beech in the quiet grove, you might hear the flow of faint water flowing in the trunk of a tree. If you have a chance to visit a forest of japanese beech, try to do that!

It is the place called Bijin-Bayashi (美人林) where is located in the Tohka-machi city in Niigata Prefecture.
It is said that all women look beautiful in the grove by the soft sunlight which comes through green leaves of Japanese beech.
That's why the place named Bijin-Bayashi literally means the grove of beauties.

@Puma Ghostwalker, Nature Expert, Medicine Man… and so much more…
I was super excited for this hike for a few reasons. I have known Puma for about 7-8 years, but we had never actually met in person. We became friends through the photography website Flickr and admired each other’s work. He posted about hiking the Appalachian trail, living off the grid right in New York City, and bee keeping. Such an amazing man, with an incredible body of work. I was so excited to finally meet him in person. I was also excited, because I knew this hike would be super informative and FUN, because he is just such an interesting quirky and caring man. Kristen and I both knew the day would be killer.
Upon arriving to his property, I jumped out of the car and gave him a great big hug. He was so happy for us to be there, and couldn’t wait to show us around. We went into his trailer and he showed us some amazing artifacts.
His table was covered in all kinds of interesting things, a deer skull, a jawbone from a coyote or some wild canine. A turtle shell, fossils, huge dried mushrooms, feathers, antlers…all wonderful gifts from Mother Nature that he collected on his travels. He showed us a cave pearl and a raw ruby. The cave pearl was amazing- perfectly round and just gorgeous. Kristen mentioned it had a really positve energy. The ruby was huge, and I can only imagine what he could get for it if he wanted to sell it. It was so neat to have him share his findings and then he blew us both away by gifting us with 2 amazing artifacts. One was a super cool deer antler and the other was a flint nodule from the Cretaceous Period. I really was so touched and amazed at his generosity. YOU ROCK PUMA!
Eventually we set out to the Pouch Boyscout Camp where we would begin the hike. Immediately entering the woods we came upon a bright orange mushroom, that I thought was chicken of the woods. It was a Berkley Polypore, similar to chicken of the woods, still edible, but I suppose not as delicious. We then came upon the sprouting of a very special medicinal plant- monotropa uniflora, or Indian Pipe, but also called “Ghost Plant” How fitting. He expalined that it was such a powerful sedative, that it was once considered to be a replacement for morphine, but that it was too hard to farm. These were just starting to pop out ofn the ground, and commented that he hoped we would get to see them in full bloom because they are so beautiful.
We wandered around the camp and learned all about the native mushrooms and plants. The three of us had a balst chatting. He even found a huge mushroom very similar to the porcini, the king bolete. We loved listening to Puma’s amazing adventures.
We wandered around the lake and and came across a veteran’s memorial park. Puma served our country in The United States Marine Corps. He suffered PTSD, and knows the healing power of nature. It’s his dream to help others with PTSD, as well as young kids with behaviorial problems, teaching them about nature how to believe in themselves.
We did end up seeing the fully opened Ghost Plant. Kris Posted a video of it on her blog and I posted live to Instagram as he was expalining it.
We took a lot of fun pictures and truly enjoyed every moment of the hike. We shared stories, laughed and got deep, it was just awesome.
I love this picture: Mushroom man!
This shot was taken in front of the Berlin Building in the Boy Scout Camp. It is named after Irving Berlin. Fun Fact: Anytime the song “God Bless America” is played publicly, the royalties are donated to the Boy Scouts of America.
The only pic we took of us 3, Next time I will have a selfie stick.
It was a thrilling and an honor to meet Puma. To hike with him and learn so much was such a blessing and a gift. I know we have made a life-long friend. I love you Puma! 💖
Puma will be joing us on our upcoming educational hikes and we will also be featuring some of his blogs, videos and other writings. YAY!
