"Haunted? Yes, but by the wrong ghost!" 2 OF 2 by Annabelle & M Via Flickr: Currently reading 'The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate—Discoveries from A Secret World' by Peter Wohlleben I borrowed this book yesterday from my local library. From the rave reviews it received, it will be one to add to my library. But, for now, I'm happily reading the borrowed book. The other day, I described the woodland landscape I was painting as a ghostly place. The faint chirp of a single bird echoes in the lonely grove. "Haunted? Yes, but by the wrong ghost!" You see, there are no ghosts to see, only the woods. From the look on Maggie's face, she might have heard something coming out of the canvas, so quiet only a cat could perceive the sound. Were the trees talking? "But if you hear a light crackling the next time you take a walk in the forest, perhaps it won't be just the wind...pg#13 'The Hidden Life of Trees'

Have you read any of these wonderful books by Peter Wohlleben? 🐐The Inner Life of Animals 🌲The Hidden Life of Trees 🍄The Secret Wisdom of Nature I’ve read the first two and absolutely enjoyed them. I now feel an even stronger connection to trees and animals than I had before. If you are looking for a non-fiction book that will open your eyes and remind you not to take our natural surrounding for grated, I highly suggest any of these books. Btw, this llama definitely does NOT think three is a crowd. However, if she had to pick just one, I think we all know which she would choose. Swipe left. 🦙 Disclaimer: No books were spit on in the making of this photo. . . Shouts out to @greystonebooks for kindly giving me these three earthly gems. . . . . . . #theinnerlifeofanimals #thehiddenlifeoftrees #thesecretwisdomofnature #peterwohlleben #booksinnature #lifeinthewoods #takeyourbookoutdoors https://www.instagram.com/p/CE1-QFBH3oT/?igshid=ecjfozqalb9d

A sabedoria secreta da Natureza – Peter Wohlleben

Mais um livro interessantíssimo do mesmo autor de a vida secreta das árvores e a vida secreta dos animais. Explica o inter-relacionamento de tudo.. vou dar uma ideia pelo nome de alguns capítulos: Como as minhocas controlam os javalis? Todos os besouros escotilíneos são ruins? Sobre lobos, ursos e peixes.

“Em verões quentes, outros problemas aparecem. Normalmente, as árvores regulam seu microclima sozinha. Todas suam juntas, como ilustrado pelo uso de quantidades enormes de água em dias quentes. O ar úmido diminui a temperatura em alguns graus e as árvores mantém o clima que lhes agrada. Porém, em longos períodos de seca, as reservas no solo são esgotadas. As primeiras árvores sedentas enviam um aviso pela rede e aconselham as outras a economizar o pouco que resta.

Se a seca e o calor não dão trégua, a única opção que resta é se livrar das folhas. No começo, apenas algumas se tornam marrom-amareladas e caem. As árvores soltam parte das áreas transpiráveis, mas sua produção de açúcar também é drasticamente reduzida. A fome – um problema menos grave – substitui a sede.

Se a chuva voltar apenas entre o meio e o final do verão, será tarde demais para desenvolver folhas novas... Com a fotossíntese reduzida, as árvores devem usar a energia que economizaram para a produção das folhas do ano seguinte, e essas reservas serão esgotadas antes da chegada da primavera. Se elas forem atacadas por pestes, mal terão forças para lutar."

“No matter what the world claims, its wisdom always growing, so it’s said, some things don’t alter with time: ….. spring unfolds in its appointed time, the violets open and the roses, snow in its hour builds its shining curves” #MaryOliver It’s “Choose a New Book Day”! My favourite day! I get to go to my shelf and let the weight of a new book drop into my hand. Choosing is a carefully thought out process, much like looking at a map and finding the next area you want to explore. All of the books return my gaze, each of them excitedly asking to show me all the amazing things they hold inside, and me knowing that most of them have the potential to change my life. It’s hard to leave any of them on the shelf! It’s an indulgence and a delight to savour each one individually. This little book of 16 small chapters will be my Advent calendar of sorts - leading me up to the winter solstice, the unalterable, appointed time for the unfolding of light, energy, warmth, and life. #maryoliverpoetry #PeterWohlleben #nature #humannature #poetry #poemoftheday #reading #reading_life #books https://www.instagram.com/p/Clw15qOPhUR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Wherever forests can develop in a species-appropriate manner, they offer particularly beneficial functions that are legally placed above lumber production in many forest laws....hope that in the future forests will continue to live out their hidden lives, and our descendants will still have the opportunity to walk through the trees in wonder. This is what this ecosystem achieves: the fullness of life with tens of thousands of species interwoven and interdependent.” #PeterWohlleben, pg 245. I finally finished another book I started, two years ago. It’s one that sits very compatibly beside Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass (2013), and Gathering Moss (2003); and Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac (1949). The common message of all of these books is their knowledge of how the world works holistically with humankind being inseparable from nature, the depiction of just how intertwined all of nature is with itself, and the call for people to live cooperatively with our environment, rather than exploitively. They make convincing arguments. #nature #humannature #trees #forests #reading_life #books https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ-Fx4PjDDm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
