"Nature" Is What We See

A Walk and a New Friend

We met this little guy on our walk at the Fullerton Arboretum.  He just sat and waited while I took lots of pictures of him. He almost has a little grin. We saw the last lingering flowers hanging-on resisting the inevitable coming of Fall. I snuck some grapes and tomatoes from the little fenced off gardens. I couldn't resist. I ate a teeny red pepper and it burned my mouth like crazy! That's what I get for  being "sneaky."

"Each day, awakening, are we asked to paint the sky blue? Need we coax the sun to rise or flowers to bloom? Need we teach birds to sing, or children to laugh, or lovers to kiss? No, though we think the world imperfect, it surrounds us each day with its perfections. We are asked only to appreciate them, and to show appreciation by living in peaceful harmony amidst them. The Creator does not ask that we create a perfect world; He asks that we celebrate it." ~Robert Brault

A sweet reminder to me today. I need to practice being mindful of each moment and not let the overwhelming 

confusion of our world to cloud the beauty that is glaringly there everyday. I hope your day is fully of beauty.

Walkabout

Nature walks always end up making me feel good. Uplifting me even when I resist going.

Scents of the flowers floating on the breeze, sun on my skin, little critters scurrying or buzzing about.

Dusty toes and sun-kissed skin. I always forget how much I love it until I do it.  

Without nature I would wilt like a flower in the summertime.
