Winter Forest

I live not far from a beautiful forest. I often go for a walk there when weather is nice. I enjoy listening to birds’ singing. Woodpeckers, thrushes, starlings and other birds live there. Both coniferous and broad-leaved trees grow in this forest. You can find pines, fir trees, birches and aspens there.

There are a lot of paths running across the forest. In summer everything is covered with beautiful flowers such as dandelions, cornflowers, pansies, buttercups and bluebells.  

In autumn this forest becomes particularly charming. Leaves turn yellow and fall off. Everyone likes to walk around it listening to leaf rustle. The forest is very popular among mushroomers. We also go to pick mushrooms there. There are a lot of brown mushrooms, orange-cap mushrooms, honey mushrooms and chanterelles.

In winter most of the trees are bare and only evergreen pines and fir trees remind of its bygone beauty. Even in winter many people still come into the forest. There are ski trails laid out in place of former paths.
