Focus for the day was on #walnut, #wildservice and #turkishhazel trees. All high value timber trees needing much care and attention by the forester. Great discussions in a beautiful setting with bright students. Inspired to write something more about this subject and maybe get some new research underway in the UK. Thanks to @slu.alnarpsparken

Do I see in my hands the shaping of a life by forces and deeds in nature, like those of an epic landscape carved by wind and water? Before the thoughts evaporate; a fleeting moment before another day begins. #reflections #selfawareness #naturephilia #mindfulness
