Today it feels like we’re coming out of the darkness that was winter. It’s warmer, clearer and brighter. Finally, we’re seeing signs of Spring.

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 44 – Freedom
We can at last see a pathway out of this situation, and soon we’ll be able to stretch our legs out elsewhere. I count myself lucky for living so close to the Wrekin, because when you’re on top of it, or any other peak, it does away with those walls that build up in your mind as a result of shutting in.
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 36 – Closer to Home
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.
100 Days of Nature – Day 38 – Repetition
Right now, every days feels the same. Get up, work, clean, eat, bed. Sometimes, however, a bit of repetition, that bit of surety is nice. Somethings, you can set your watch by.
Crocuses, for example, turn up in the same spot at the local wooded area every year about this time, without fail. Today, as the workers were cutting down a massive amount of foliage that had managed to grow undisturbed for such a long time, knowing that these little things will still pop up no matter what is unusually comforting.
100 Days of Nature – Day 37 – Flashes of Sunlight
A very simple one today, but its nice to see the weather beginning to brighten up. I’m ready for warm now.
100 Days of Nature – Day 35 – Together
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.
100 Days of Nature – Day 34 – Nature Walks
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.
