Admiring Beauty in Nature
During our recent hike, we were treated to a breathtaking display of art in nature. Due to the high water levels over the past few weeks, the reeds in a particular section of our hike , had transformed into a stunning work of art. It was a reminder that no two hikes are the same, and every experience can offer something unique.
Look at the image on the left and look at the waves curved into the reeds, this is what we saw on our way out to our half way point on Sunday. The picture on the right, is the same spot, on the return journey (45mins later) and because of the light, the reeds don’t look anywhere nears as artistic, as our earlier shot —- it was quite spectacular .
Some people might dismiss a hike as boring or not worth their time, saying things like, “I’ve already done that hike with you.”
However, as one hiker pointed out recently, the sounds on a hike can make each one completely different, with different bird calls, rustling leaves, and gushing streams to listen to. Another hiker chimed in, saying that even if you do the same hike twenty times, it’s impossible to see everything there is to see.
That’s why I love venturing out into nature. It’s a kaleidoscope of color, creative art, and sensory emotions. From the vibrant hues of flowers to the soothing sounds of the forest floor, there’s always something new to discover.
And with the seasons changing we are starting to see the Wonderful Wildflowers come out, this is the very best time to hike. Its brisk early in the morning but as soon as that Sun comes out the day is glorious.
So I encourage you, whether you’re hiking with us or someone else, to open your eyes with purpose, and tune your ears into the sounds around you. Look for new surprises and allow yourself to be amazed by the beauty of nature.
