Oh love this!

You shared a post like this a couple years ago with the luminous wild mushrooms. So perfect
You know, i really hope that, once lock down ends, that people will start having a bit more respect for nature

Our planet is precious. Look at it.

Lets keep it clean and safe not just for is but wildlife.
