I'd visit the forest more often if it didn't have so many hideous bugs.
Ticks, for example; they're so tiny you can barely see them, but they can kill you, or make you very sick.
Anyway, since you like forests, here's one of my personal faves by JonasDeRo .

Well ticks are fairly haneous, thankfully in the pnw I've only experienced large ticks (which are gross, yet manageable)
That forest is hauntingly beautiful

Dog owner in serious trouble due to a tick bite:
Help for my dog LisaHelp for my dog Lisa
Update *** News 29.04. below added
Hello my dears!
Perhaps you have noticed that I have not been very active in the past month on DA.
The reason is the illness of my dog Lisa
I've been thinking for a long time about writing this journal!
But my desperation is now greater than the embarrassing feeling of asking for help!
Lisa, my dog, is now 3 years old. She has been infected with a serious illness due to a tick bite.
She has anaplasmosis! A shock!!!
The first episode of the disease was a retinal detachment in both eyes.
She was blind for several days and could not handle it.
Then the veterinarians succeeded in using all medical possibilities
that the retina has partially re-established.
Lisa could see again. Not as much as before - but she saw something!
That stayed like that for about 3 months!
Then came the next anaplasmosis disease episode.
She had a glaucom
