Nature as a healer

Nature as a healer

‘For the Love’ of Nature’s: patterns, textures, colours, shapes and beauty…

Nature is often my muse and helps me drop into a place where I am able to see the uplifting beauty around me.

It has been & continues to be a significant healing resource to me, it has also supported me in some of my darkest times and I’m wondering how that is for others?

I have endless images on my phone of all sorts of nature inspiration and often find them a useful reference when I cannot get out into nature & find it very grounding for me.

I’m just curious of those folk here who also have a love of nature, what ways you find connection with her? Be inspired by her? Learn from her? Live with her?

Just wanted to end on sharing a selection of some of my recent images taken, would love to hear from & see any of your own images &/or thoughts!

Re: Nature as a healer

I am SO so grateful hearing all your wonderful takes on your connections with NATURE 💚💦☀️🌿🌸🌾🌈💫

And thank you for those images that some of you have shared! 💓

This is sunrise image I wanted to share with you that I captured a couple of days ago - it really find taking photo's of scenes like these so uplifting as I can flick through my phone at those times, I may need a bit of a nature boost ✨

Here's to 2022 having many more inspiring moments in Nature...

Re: Nature as a healer

I just finished reading another thread @Shaz51 that was started by @Molly22 who shares your love of photography, only to see this stunning shot! You must need a steady hand for this kind of work?

Re: Nature as a healer

@Shaz51 What a stunner. Don't think I have ever seen one quite like that. We have loads of dragonflies and damsel flies on our dam but never seen one as pretty as that. Congrats.
