100 Days of Nature – Day 52 – Looking at Now

In the meantime, all we can do (all we are allowed to do) is take in what is around us immediately. We often spend so much time thinking of somewhere else, that we miss what’s in front and around now. There’s still so much you or I haven’t seen yet of our immediate surroundings and what they have to offer.

Soon, we’ll be able to explore further afield again. I hope to appreciate more what lies elsewhere, to take in the moment while I’m there.

100 Days of Nature – Day 49 – Serenity

Now that the weather is brightening up, with a few exceptions, more and more life is starting to emerge. If this isn’t something to look forward to, I dont know what is. Sometimes just to exist and observe is all you need.

Nothing starts a good day like a calming walk early in the morning. And the brighter mornings mean images such as these to look up to on the way.

100 Days of Nature – Day 45 – Stillness

Over the last few weeks of doing this, I’ve noticed a change in myself. Of course, we all want to get out and see the world again. I’m planning my trip to climb Scafell as soon as. But, since making the effort to take a new picture every day of something I find beautiful, I’m noticing that I’m noticing. A small flower, the way a leaf catches the light. They all small things, but sometimes you catch yourself thinking about it. If no one else finds it beautiful, who’s really at a loss there?

100 Days of Nature – Day 43 – Lie Ins

It’s my week off, and mentally I need it. It’s also strange to wake up when the sun is already up. The sky looked so much like a pastel piece this morning, and I think we ought to appreciate more when the sky looks like this. It never looks the same, the sky is always changing and it never uniform.

100 Days of Nature – Day 42 – Part of Everyday

On my running days, I usually run the same path from my apartment building, and double back. I know it like the back of my hand now, but that doesn’t mean I don’t find new things. I passed a tree, so dense with these things growing, beautiful in such an unusual way.

100 Days of Nature – Day 41 – Easy Days

Today I went for a walk in my local park, and for a little while, things felt normal. It’s rare I see so many people on a Sunday. The crocuses, it seems, have invaded and are everywhere. I feel like I’m seeing them more this year than ever, but it might also be just me paying more attention.
