I guess I could drag the old camera along and take some pictures to share .
Wouldn't be the same as going though. Flat pictures on a computer screen are not all that awe inspiring.
One does not have to travel far to commune with nature. Even a big city has a few parks to roam in. Much can be learned even there.
Even a tree on a city street can teach you something.
Pictures are just pictures. They only have memories for the person that took them.
My winter walks have taken me many places. Taught me a lot about trees. But it has also taught me a lot of other things.
I have met a lot of good people (and a couple not so good)
Mostly I have learned the art of LOOKING. Amazing what one can see if you just look.
In October I took a little walk near Asheville NC. There I took the picture below.
Nice picture but, it doesn't show the squirrels scampering about, no smells. Doesn't show the nice elderly couple I met. ( funny, the old gentleman at one time did bonsai but had to give it up because of arthritis in his hands) A lot is missing from that picture.
What is missing is mostly good memories.
