If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.

The forest floor is carpeted with Western Sword Fern (Polystichum munitum) and Redwood Sorrel (Oxalis oregona) that grow profusely in the dense shade of these magnificent giant California Redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens). The sorrel plants prefer shade so much that on the rare occasion when full sunlight strikes them directly they fold downwards and close like an umbrella, their heart shaped leaves kept close against the stem.
Young mixed deciduous trees, yellow birch, red maple, form a shady canopy for a path to Arkon Lake. As seen in Frontenac Provincial Park, north of Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
Leonardslee Gardens: Woodland Walks
For a few weeks in May of each year, Leonardslee Gardens in West Sussex, UK, erupt into a spectacular display of the most amazing color combinations of flowering rhododendrons and azaleas. The green, wooded valley gardens then turn into a place of vibrant colors and outstanding natural beauty. Filled with the scent of the massed azalea plantings the whole area becomes a forest paradise. Visitors have often described its beauty and tranquility as being like ‘heaven on earth’.
This photograph shows a quiet and reflective scene in the woodland at Leonardslee with yellow azaleas and English Bluebells beneath large Japanese acers.
For many years, tens of thousands of visitors have enjoyed the picture-postcard qualities of this Grade 1 historic garden. Unfortunately, the gardens are now closed to the public as they have been sold to an international businessman.
Details: Leonardslee Gardens is a truly outstanding English landscape garden having a Grade 1 Historic Garden status (English Heritage Register). It covers about 240 acres (97 Hectares) in a wooded valley, contains seven lakes and is extensively planted with azaleas, ancient rhododendrons (some well over 100 years old), acers and camellias - all with a delightful under planting of bluebells in spring.
The great Victorian plant collector, Sir Edmund Loder (who gave his name to the large flowered and scented Loderi Rhododendron Hybrids) purchased the estate in 1889 and planted large numbers of Rhododendrons there. Sir Giles Loder later planted an extensive collection of camellias at Leonardslee. The estate remained in the hands of five generations of the Loder family until 2010 when it was sold to an international businessman. However, the Loder Rhododendron nursery was not sold and is still in business.

Ein Spaziergang ums Haslimoos. Die Holzfäller waren fleissig, die Stämme liegen bereit zum Abstransport. Und der Wanderer, äh der Fotograf? Warm eingepackt unterwegs.
A walk around Haslimoos. The lumberjacks have been busy, the logs are ready to be transported away. And the hiker, ehm, the photographer? Wrapped up warm on the way.
When will the beneficial warm light return?
À quand le retour de la lumière chaude bienfaisante?

Lisle IL / The Morton Arboretum
The Morton Arboretum
Often times I drive thru the Arboretum looking for inspiration, and this time the name alone was enough to get me to pull over.
Lake Kubek/Mug Northern End. Deviating from the junction of red trails in Lakeside/Jeziorno, I arrived at the other end of the lake to the Deer Garden forester lodge (green walking trail) and stayed on the shore at the place designated as the lookout point. Then I got to the green biking trail which leads to Sierakow (route 133). Finally, I reached the red biking trail (from Lichwin) to the French Mountains by a simple forest path (my own route) starting from this point: route 133 near the Sierakow Landscape Park border.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

Flowering Calluna Vulgaris, the Common Heather, or Ling in August (towards the end of the month, simply heather; wrzos zwyczajny, wrzos pospolity, or wrzos sierpniowy). A magical plant for the Celts was a symbol of passion and love. The flower of the earth is now a symbol of the passing of summer. It has become an invasive weed in some areas and is found widely in the Notecka Forest where the plant grows widely. Heather honey has a characteristic strong taste (complement to many dishes, tea, or cocoa; with warming effects). The herb has been used in the traditional Austrian medicine internally as tea for treatment of disorders of the kidneys and urinary tract. Other healing properties: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, sedative, diaphoretic; the herb used in prostate hyperplasia, rickets, and respiratory diseases.
