More on forests

Speaking of weather! I went out to walk Ginger today in a forest near our house. It is called Bois du Halle (woods of Halle). Halle is a small town close by but interestingly, the forest is not in Halle. When we started our walk, the sun had not yet come over the horizon so we stayed on a trail close to the forest’s edge. They sky was full of clouds and it was lightly raining. We returned to the car within 45 minutes and by that time all the clouds had cleared, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the sun was flooding into the woods at a beautiful angle, filling it will beams of yellow/orange light that was full of steam. We drove down into town (5 minutes) so that I could stop by the hardware store for a few minutes and by the time I got out, it was pouring rain again. Good lord!

The Bois du Halle is very hard to get to but at the same time quite famous because in the spring, the forest floor is covered with Blue Belles. At that time, it is called the Blue Forest. Here is a picture of what is supposed to be like. We are looking forward to walking in the forest then!
