Walk in a Fairytale Forest
I walked around Ounasvaara (* area today. I was supposed to find a sightseeing place overlooking Rovaniemi but I ended up on a forest route. There was a moss by the walking route and mostly coniferous trees, both of these make the experience Lappish. The trees here up in the North are smaller than the ones in the South where I live.
I found some fancy trees that could easily star in a fairytale. Today’s featured image is a spruce that must be very old.

There was a bearded tree
The beard is hanging moss
Lots of dead pine trees that make habitats for several creatures
Pine tree is blooming at the moment
This spruce started as one
A northern beauty, marsh labrador tea
If you don’t like strong green colors, June must be a difficult one to put up with
