Des bois amour

There are always things to be found in the forest, if you look, that is.  Walk off the beaten track, keep you eyes open and you're bound to come across something. And, they're all part of a story. Hundred's of stories that I only see fragments of.  I'm not complaining, mind. I enjoy finding things, they often make me smile, and I enjoy letting my mind wander as I ponder the what's, the who's and the whys.

Weird Stuff

Walking off the path as I do, I regularly stumble across weird stuff in the forest or when out and about. Things that must have made sense to the folk which constructed them, though I can't fathom. Take this 'thing', a circle of cut branches all of a similar guage, firmly pushed into the ground, one round of para cord tied around them, with conifer trigs (I don't know if they where green when placed) forming a cover...nothing inside (on cursory inspection, I don't like to disturb too much in case it's something ritual). What's that about?  Most peculiar.
