i dont much feel like writing. i went with some friends to the most beautiful place i have seen in Spain and we only saw about 3 other people. my friends are botany geeks, the first place we went was a young beech forest. its a pleistocene relict, this vegetation type is more common farther north. the second was a fairly natural birch forest in a hunting area. the first (most of the pics) featured an amazing combination of colors due to perfect timing...Erica in flower (pink), Fagus leafing out (bright green), Fagus not yet leafed out (purplish brown), shiny schist with pure white quartz intrusions, a yellow green endemic lichen, and skys threatening rain with occasional rays of light. the second was like a Robin Hood forest, and turned out to be perfect for having a nap. A few fungi were out, but mushroom season (Boletes!) is in fall.
