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!

We have been going for an evening walk. I always enjoy this part....

Re: Nature as a healer

I can see why you'd enjoy this part! @Bow
how tranquil! 💚

p.s do you also find it annoying that images end up on their sides when we upload them? ... don't know why the system does that 🤔
I've worked out if it's a square or landscape style - it accepts it, but otherwise it rotates it like this...
🤷‍♀️

Hi All

I enjoyed a walk the other day & happened to turn my head to notice an arrangement of sorts - these beauties in their colour coded / transformation process.
Someone like-minded had left them there on proud display & I’m glad I came across them, I could have easily missed them - it made me 😃

Interesting, @Former-Member !

Are you a morning person or an evening person? I like getting outside in nature in the early morning, especially in summer...it's beautiful.

Re: Nature as a healer

Yay it's raining right now!!! I love it! I don't usually walk in the rain, but today my raincoat is being used. I don't care. I need some exercise.

Re: Nature as a healer

You've really captured a beautiful time of day there @Shaz51. I would love to be dipping my toes in that water today.
