🐾 WILD ADVENTURE into the FOREST 🐾 ~ Wednesday Walk

avatar

Hi all 👋🏻

As it is still winter-wonderland here ❄️☃️ and no sign of spring yet… let me share a walk up the mountain into the forest 🌳🌲without revealing where I am yet 😉
We found a lot of wildlife tracks and were surprised 😳 by which ones we found… 🐾🐾 join me today on our truly wild adventure 😎

With this post I’m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.

‼️Have a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in!… the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at his last #Wednesdaywalk.
It will tell you also the rules of joining at the Wednesday walk posts 😁 come join us! It is fun!

Today’s selection will be of 35 PHOTOGRAPHS
Date: march 2024.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my phone 📱🤓
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk, to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes. 😊

Are you ready… let’s go for our walk 😊

We are following a path that we just can see… it disappeared mostly with the snow ❄️

We follow it here side ways along the mountain 🏔️

Tall trees 🌲 towering high above us. The sky is so beautiful BLUE 💙

It is a mixed forest with broadleaf trees and pine trees 🌲 🌳

Our path is getting steeper… 😊

The views are stunning.

I see some details… and capture them 🌳

Thinner and younger trees are bend during the winter when the snow is or was too heavy.

My FAVOURITE PHOTO of the day… the sun just peaking around the birch tree 🌳 we see lichen on its bark.

The path we followed…

Still climbing up the mountain going along the forest now as there is a large open space.

Suddenly I find tracks… this one is the human kind one hahaha 🤣 mine 👋🏻

But… next to this one… I find a rabbit 🐇 track. They leave tracks in the form of an Y So it is easy to tell it is a rabbit.
Pretty cool in the fresh snow ❄️

We find more tracks… 😎

Here if you look closely you see many tracks from different animals. From very small ones to larger animals.

Zooming out a bit more. So cool 😎

As we walk further we find a feline track 🐾🐾 it is much larger than all the other tracks around us.

I follow it a bit to find the perfect tracks to show you and tell you what animal made them 😊

The largest tracks coming towards you in this photo are from a LYNX

Here you can imagine it walking by…

If you don't know the LYNX have a look at this WIKIPEDIA page : LYNX!

For a visual I found the following photo also on this wikipedia page from the user “mpiet“ SOURCE!

Isn’t this a majestic animal… I hope to see it one day and be able to capture it too. Especially now I know it roams around here 😊

Some other tracks.

The path we were following has disappeared now fully and we make our own path further along up the mountain. Hubby goes first now.

Our view, we are trying to get into the forest on the other side of this open area…

We see the air is very clean up here as those mosses and lichen only grow where the air is best.

We are sinking in further and further… the snow is really deep now. We cant find a path that is stable enough to carry us… 😳

It is really hard walking now.

Both of us are falling several times. We sink in all the way up till our bottoms 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 as you can see here hubby struggling to get out. In the foreground more attempts of getting out and finding new places we think we can walk…

We can’t stop laughing 😜 at this point… as much as we are trying to go ahead… our adventure up the mountain, into the forests 🌳 is coming to an end hahaha 🤣 the snow is deeper than our waist. As it is very fluffy under the surface and we saw some air pockets. We don’t want to get trapped in…

Rolling out is the only way hahaha 🤣

We are back tracking our foot steps now 😎 we both fall several times… 🤣😂 very hilarious I can tell you.
Luckily we made it out of the deep snow and are walking back down the mountain into the forest again.
I see some more tracks… and my shadow 😊

I take in all the other details next to me. I find this #fungi on the birch tree 🌳

Closer up 😊

We find some barns on the way down.

The snow is so high, it comes half way at the structure. No way to open the doors… 🚪

One more capture of the forest now we are out of it.

WOW this was a wild adventure… hahaha I hoped you liked coming along and had a laugh too. 😂🤣

…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.
Join me next time for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs 😎👋🏻

Well, you are not in the Mediterranean Sea, that's for sure... 😂 Also, I was watching some documentaries about lince iberico and it is very rare in Spain, so I suppose that you aren't in the Pyrenees either... 😃
In any case, you had great weather and the photos are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project! Check out our Reading Suggestions Posts!

Nope… I am not !LOL 😋
Yes, I have seen some of those documentaries too about the lynx all over the world. If I would see one, one day… would be my dream. Just epic.
They are rare and very shy. Won’t come close to people. The area they roam in is so large… not sure I will ever see it. But I will keep looking it is in my back garden/forest. 😎

The weather was perfect for a walk. Just too bad we couldn’t get further into the forest. It will have to defrost first I guess. In the last week we got 1 meter more snow. Garden is higher than our SUV’s roof covered in snow… So it is adding to the snow instead of getting spring 🌸 but soon… I guess in 4 weeks.

Have an awesome day 👋🏻😊
Thank you!

Hello dear friend @littlebee4 good morning
What a beautiful place to hike, I love this steep, snowy terrain for a hike.
I'm not surprised that this photograph is your favorite, I love how the sun rises from the bark of the tree.
The footprints of the animal they have found are incredible, you have to be very careful when walking there, especially if you get stuck in snow up to your waist.
Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful hiking experience and the beautiful photographs.
have a happy day

Hello my friend @jlufer good morning to you too.
Can you imagine this is right in the back garden… so much more to explore.
Next winter we will be better equipped to go out and about in the snow. This winter we moved to here right in the middle.
I loved finding the foot prints. So cool to see so much wild life around the mountain and in this forest.
I am happy you liked my post and i could share it with you.
Have a beautiful day further 👋🏻😊

from a LYNX

!!!! very cool and very elusive I think. There are lynx in Vermont but mostly farther north. We have never seen one. The shots look similar to Vermont... and more than just the snow 🙄 the forest type and mountains. I have one word for you though...


snowshoes! 😁😂🤣
But still looks like a really fun adventure 👍

It is so cool to know they are around. I will be watching very closely the forest and mountain now. It would be so nice to see one, one day.
You know @steven-patrick as the last year everything changed with work and we weren’t able to move to New England US anymore… we chose Scotland… as you know that didn’t work out either due to brexit for me. So Ireland was a stop over. Now we have chosen ourselves (no work relocation…) where we wanted to go to and the area that came the closest to the regions we love the most in New England. Vermont and Massachusetts the Berkshires, the mountains and forests. We moved to 😁 it is so similar in many ways. I tell you soon where we are and show you more.

I know hahaha 🤣 this winter we are not equipped for going out and about. But next winter we will 😁 for sure ☃️❄️ can’t wait to explore the mountains and forests more.
Snowshoes would make things much easier… even ski’s would work better than just walk into thick snow. The garden is deeper than 2 meter right now it’s higher than the roof of our suv 🚙 . I guess 4 more weeks until we see some ground.

It was fun to at least try and see how far we would get. And some areas we can walk…

Its always fun to get out there 👍

Hope your new move works for you. I'm sure you will love the area, it looks beautiful. I didn't understand the depth of the difficulties with your relocating. I just thought you were super adventurous 😊 I was jealous

It is indeed.

Thank you ☺️
The last 5 moves were not our choice and either work or bureaucracy got in the way.
Doesn’t mean i am not adventurous hahaha 🤣 I soooo am.
Looks like I have been moving around and changing countries my whole life.
Have a great day!

Nope, no stop over… this is the back garden 😁 I show you soon more from the scenery.

I guess it starts melting in the next week (s). It all depends how fast nature gets rid of the 2 meter snow in the garden 🤣😂

Those are beautiful moments in the snow Jackie, the trees looks beautiful as well as the weather.

Isn't the Lynx a wild animal?

I probably will be scared of sinking in the snow lol.

It was a perfect day out in the snow. Soooo much fun hahaha 🤣

The Lynx is indeed a wild animal… more wild animals will wake up soon 🐻

We didnt know what to expect. As we sunk in further we decided not to go further. One never knows what is underneath. We don’t know the area yet.

Have a great day Joe 👋🏻😊

It is a good idea you guys stopped to go further since you are still new to the area.

Thanks Jackie, have a good evening.
