Being outside and enjoying green spaces and fresh air feels good and can improve our mental health .I certainly feel better after a nature walk but it's hard to get there.
Maybe we need a virtual space to share information and experiences
Here's a start :

@PeppyPatti Did you make that fern frond picture?
I saw on Gardening Australia(?) an artist who squished flowers 💐 and leaves 🍂 on to fabric leaving a natural imprint.
I still love your house overlaid with leaves. I got to find the picture you posted of it.

My god @Glisten I remember the absolute love I had when I did that picture. I LOVED doing Art. Last night I dreamed of the house I used to own before my parents bullied me out of it .... I used to love doing artwork. But my family knocked it out of me. I don't do artwork anymore. I start shaking when I start artwork.
I'll get that art later on today and post it for you.
Thankyou sincerely.

Hi @Healandlove coot pup there : ) they have such happy faces - dogs. I adore the big smiley faces of Staffies. They have a huge jaw so their smile is massive!
Caught a cool shot walking to school this morning with two happy rainbow lorikeets on a Chinese fan palm and it contrasted with the beautiful house and sky.
It’s so lovely but I can’t attach it Boo
i even tried to attach a screen shot of it but it says the file is too large. Ugggh.
I’ll try just the lorikeets instead… Nope. Ah well, next time when I figure out I will attach.
