Beard of a goblin?

I love forests and lakes, my soul rests in a forest and at lakes. We made a walk in a nearby forest by the lake Saimaa, enjoyed the concert of the birds and felt very happy and relaxed. Common and rare birds, not much snow and thick ice on lake Saimaa.

Forests are also magical places for us Finnish. Some years ago I met a wild bear in one, we decided to get to opposite directions...

Couple of shots elsewhere.
