Friday Fun - Nature is my refocusing spot with many surprises

nina_schmidt

As some of you know, I run a lap through nature pretty much every morning very early.

This helps me to focus and sort myself for the day. Furthermore I go for a walk every day, especially in these crazy, unreal times it helps me to come down.

On these tours you often discover great things, for example a beaver (see an older post of mine), hair ice or a tree with a heart (just yesterday).

What fascinating things have you already discovered?

Beautiful. I'm in Coffee Land of India - Chikmagalur where we get to see the high mountains, beautiful mists, kind of heaven 🤩

@nina_schmidt I like to travel the United States. Water seems to be what I find the most...

nina_schmidt

@Marjorie Wow - that’s awesome! 💚

Nice topic @nina_schmidt , thanks!

I to love nature and always have. For me it consistently soothes my soul. Many years ago I was into nature and landscape photography. Purely an amateur but I loved playing around with it and ended up with some very nice photographs. Of course that was before the digital wave so difficult to pull out of my pocket. These days I'm into getting out on the water on the coast of North and South Carolina.

Much like @nina_schmidt I try to get an early morning ride in before work in the Spring-Summer-Fall. In the Winter I am indoors on a trainer, no nature there.

Getting out and enjoying the nature is a big part of what makes the ride the perfect start of a work day. I am lucky to live 1/2 mile from the Atlantic Ocean shore with a perfect boardwalk for riding, and my office is near Prospect Park where the spring blooms and autumn colors are always popping!

Wow. Nice pictures! 💙 What type of crustacean is that? It looks huge.

nina_schmidt

That’s really awesome ☺️

Hi @nina_schmidt , it actually is rather small ~3" - 4" spread. It is, what I call a sand crab. If you go out to the beach at night there will be hundreds. It is really cool to see them scurrying around to find food.

My favorite is the mountains. This is a picutre I took in Glacier National Park.

@John Funk I just went to Glacier last year during the later part of summer, just a week after the sun road opened up. Amazing place. Very beautiful. My middle picture above was on the way to Avalanche Pass...
