Following a stream

14th April. Another walk in the woods we can access from the road we live in. This time though instead of the usual circular walk we do of entering from our road, walking down through the woods and then out a t the bottom and up through the houses, we did the opposite. Maybe it was this break from the norm that inspired the girls to explore the stream. They loved following it going upstream through the woods. At times it was right next to the path and we walked alongside them. At other times they disappeared into the trees to follow it. When they reached a long low tunnel we were all of the same opinion that the best thing to do was to walk round it! We had set off with the plan to gather items to make a nature picture on our return home. So that's what they did on their stream adventure. They are mindful of what to take and what to leave depending on rarity or abundance.
