CDHK prompt today by Managua Gunn, Forest. Unfortunately there won't be any forest bathing for me today, but I loved the post, and I learned something: there are actual concrete scientific studies tending to support what I find to be true: time in the woods does a body good.

I'm with my favorite band on this:

   Woods in the day make me feel great
   Woods in the day, I can't feel time

So anyway. Only a mind's eye visit to the forest today. The most beautiful one I saw recently was an old birch forest with a bright green groundcover, in Alaska. And the prettiest kind of dappled sunlight. I didn't have a camera with me.
