Grasp the Day

Posted on by Hanna

To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today, I took a walk in the woods. The weather was constantly changing between heavy rain showers and sunshine. There was a brisk breeze that kept the mosquitoes away. Even though the nearest town wasn’t too far, I only encountered two people during my two-hour walk along lakes, bogs, meadows, and through beautiful trees of all shades of green. Perhaps people were deterred by the threat of rain and mosquitoes, or both? Either way, the beautiful sky made for a splendid sight on this lovely day.

Wishing all of you a happy Nature Walk ❤️

    • Thank you so much, Ashley, for your always well-chosen words. There is so much to see and discover in nature. Perhaps this is one of nature’s many secrets. The magic of diversity 🎁❤️😊

  3. I used to lead Group Walks. I was always amazed at what different people in the groups spotted, commented upon and sometime marvelled at. The different contrasting reactions were as fascinating as the walks were interesting. … they do say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 🙂

    • Thank you for sharing your story, David! I do understand what you mean. It’s amazing how different experiences can enrich people. Nature has so much to offer, and it’s really something special to think about. I’ve also been on guided tours where some people just chat without looking around. While it’s great to have a conversation partner, it could be interesting to ask them to find their way back to where they came from 🤔🥰😊

    • Thank you for your comment, Tanja!!😊 I once cheered on an apple skin that was several days old! So there had been people before us 🤣🤣
      A desolate and barren mountain landscape in Norway it was!
