It's Mental Health Awareness week and one of the things I find helps my mental wellbeing is noticing nature. REALLY noticing. Even a few minutes can have a positive effect. Today, I decided to capture some of the things I noticed on my dog walk to share with you. [yes it's in portrait, sorry!]
I noticed...
The way the grass swayed in the breeze and how it felt as I ran my hands through it [not as soft as I'd imagined]
The brightness of the yellow buttercups in contrast with the grass
A peacock butterfly landing and creeping up close to see it's beautiful markings
The way leaves on the trees moved
The patterns that aeroplanes had left in the sky
The blue-ness of the sky
The different sounds of the birds chirping
The low hum of farm machinery
The smell of stinging nettels and hawthorn flowers
The delicate white flowers of cow-parsley and how it fills the lanes with an abundant spring bouquet
Are you a nature-noticer? What have you noticed today?
