Mason’s Wood

Getting Close with Mother Nature

Foreword

Mason’s Wood is located in Preston. A local gem which may remain to be undiscovered except to those who passes it on their way to ASDA Fulwood, by foot.

My deepest ‘thank you’ to my two elfin-ish companion for the walk in the woods, Jet and Huda. Also to Fiza for lending us her camera to help us capture the magic of Mother Nature.

Enjoy the pictures. And with us wearing green, it was purely a coincidence.

“ The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature ”

Anne Frank

“ The heart of a maiden is a dark forest ” Russian proverb

“ Looking back, I have this regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so”

David Gayson

“Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another”John Dewey

“Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life”

Rachel Carson

“Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best”

Henry Van Dyke

“The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble”

Blaise Pascal

“When I find myself fading, I close my eyes and realize my

friends are my energy”

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine

flows into trees.The winds will blow their own freshness into

you... while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

John Muir

The goal of life is living in agreement with nature- Zeno -
