Anything, Everything
Next time you’re out walking, whether it be to go to the shop, walking the dog or your daily exercise, make an effort to notice things. Any spots of colour you’ve never paid attention to, a flower in a cluster of trees, berries. Crocuses emerging from a patch of grass in a business park. The colour of the sky.
Yesterday was one of those days where I just wanted to go to bed and wait for the day to improve or be done. I realised that I rely on my phone a hell of a lot; communication, photos, Duolingo, tracking exersize, music in the morning. I didn’t realize this until I had mere hours without it due to a fault, but it’s funny isn’t it? We love these little things for all the space they save and all the things they can carry… until we can’t access them because the phone just refuses to work.
Anyway, here is a nice photo of cloudy blue sky. Because just because its always there, doesn’t mean it isn’t wondrous.
Particurly since we’re being encouraged to be more at home for the time being, our environments have to be adapted to be more cosy, more conducive, maybe constantly changing to feel a sense of movement. Flowers are a welcome dash of colour, as well as a mood lifter.
A very simple one today, but its nice to see the weather beginning to brighten up. I’m ready for warm now.
This isn’t going to be a strictly nature post, per say. But it is about environments, spaces, and having someone to travel with. Travel is one of mine and my fiancé’s shared loves, whether it’s in the UK or outside. And this hasn’t been possible for the last few months, but more than ever its important to plan those trips, map out what you want to do and where you want to go. Even just putting by a little money as a fund can help make those travel plans feel just a little bit closer.
There’s little that a good walk can cure, particularly amongst the trees. There’s no bustle, no pressure to be anywhere. Just you, your thoughts and the birds chirping away in the trees.
Do you ever wonder whether you’re the only one in a mile radius who is in complete awe of something spectacular happening?
The sky is at its most beautiful in the early morning, in my opinion anyway. The sky is the one thing not in our control, the one things we can’t built upon or manipulate. And it shows how wonderous things can be when left under their own steam. These photos were taken 30 minutes apart, and what a difference!
Today’s premise is simple. Just appreciating how nature can present itself in such ways, whether its the brightest sunset or the tallest trees, the smallest flowers or the most distinct looking animals.
Winter can be a dull, drab time. Everything is grey or brown or just a bit icky (when there’s no snow about, in which event everything is glorious). But often thats when the odd splash of colour, usually going unnoticed, might suddenly pop out at you in the shape of leaves, flowers, little red berries.
