Hobbit and green

It has rained on and off recently, and that has helped to finally turn everything green again. Today was a sunny day (though a bit windy), so Sampo wanted to go out and see how green the forest now is.



Sampo: Blueberries now have leaves - and buds, too!

Sampo: the swamp is no longer frozen. Now Deimos has to start fearing the swamp monster again...








A thoughtful little hobbit.





Sampo: Here is a good hollow under a tree root. I must recommend it as a summer residence for Niks and Naks.



Sampo: It's too low for me, I can't stand straight there.



Sampo: The hollow is under the root of a big pine.



Sampo: Here are some more pine roots.



Sampo: They are really crooked!


More swamp pictures.



Don't fall into the water!





Sampo: Here are some early dandelions in a sunny spot. Eggie would like these!



Sampo: This tree is totally dead.



Sampo: Fungi are growing all over it!
