Russian forest - green fairy tale.

Three things I love: mountains, sea and forest. The Russian forest is special. He's like a green fairy tale: the same enigmatic and mysterious. You walk through the forest and it seems that now nymphs will appear from behind the tree. The goblin will come out on the road. And the forest fairies will descend from above.

The Russian forest is especially beautiful at sunset. When the sun plays with rays among the crowns of trees. And the last rays make their way through the foliage.

I also love the Russian forest because a lot of delicious things grow in it. For example, raspberries. Forest raspberries are much tastier than in the garden. It is sweeter and more fragrant. Very tasty jam is obtained from forest raspberries. Do you like to pick wild berries?

My family also collects various herbs in the forest. They are very helpful. Some we add to tea. Others we use when we have a cold. Mint, fireweed, chamomile, hypericum, urtica and much more.

Also, many people collect tree branches. Birch, oak, aspen. The branches are dried and brooms are made. With these brooms, people go to the Russian bathhouse. It is very good for health.

There is a holiday in Russia - Ivan Kupala (Kupala Night). Young unmarried girls are guessing at grooms. They want to see them in a dream. To do this, on the night of Ivan Kupala, put a bouquet of various herbs under the pillow, and the more a different amount of herbs will be in such a bouquet, the more truthful the dream will be. The best option for a magical bouquet is 12, 24 or 40 types of plants. In order to collect a bouquet, the girls go to the forest.

And my family has dogs for many years - real Siberian laikas. When we go to the forest, we definitely take them with us. Laika love to walk in the forest very much. This is their home.

Do you have dogs? Do you like to go to the forest? :)
