This one is for all you nature lovers out there. Today we’re taking a walk in the Forest of Dean with Colin over at A Tramp in the Woods. As most of you know there’s not much I enjoy more than a tramp along the creek or through the woods so of course when I found Colin’s blog, I was in love. Not only is his blog filled with phenomenal nature photos and videos, but there’s a wealth of educational information contained in his delightful and often humorous narration. His latest post details a way to raise butterflies to release back to the wild. When you visit be sure to take time to watch the video. It’s awesome. Colin claims to have no area of expertise, but he sure knows his nature.
Taken from Colin’s bio: “I write about and photograph the nature around me from a little farm in The Forest of Dean. I watch plants, animals, fungi, I don’t have a field of expertise but I do have a field full of Wildflowers and Badgers.”
If you love nature like I do, go visit Colin and take A Tramp in the Woods.

Elizabeth, I enjoyed your Friday Blog Buddy post this week. I learned where the Forest of Dean is–had never heard of it before–and what an interesting man Colin is. Loved the photos on his blog, and, of course, his trusty, little sidekick seems pretty special as well! Thanks for another nice post. 🙂
