I started The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben yesterday

@CrazyMusicLover Yes! His teachings inspired so much of my art last year. I drew a Yew tree with excruciating detail. Trees sleeping in the winter like old men smoking pipes haha! Hes great. I rarely care for an authors complete perspective but hes one I read intently. Enjoy! Such good stuff.

@Paintedfox That's wonderful that he inspires you. I started drawing trees only last year. Just very rough sketches but I'm glad I started at all. Sadly, I don't feel very comfortable drawing in the woods at this time of the year as the undergrowth is very thick and blocks view. That makes me feel very unsafe just to stand on one spot.

@CrazyMusicLover Thats okay. Just remember how our tree friends live so slowly, they'll wait for you 💚

@Mugin16 To a great extent, it describes aspects of life and needs of trees that we usually attribute only to animals and humans. In other words, it describes how they create society, how they communicate, defend and feed each other and even raise their offspring in a way. The author says this only applies to natural forests and agricultural forests lose these abilities because their root system is disconnected and trees can't communicate. There are many interesting facts.
