It's my little world ...: Nature

Isn’t it amazing to walk outdoors and feel the sun shine upon your skin or inhale some fragrant aroma from a blossoming plant or bush that is nearby? We’ve been blessed to live on Earth and enjoy so many of the beautiful creations that surround us. Whether it’s the majestic mountains of the Rockies to the Appalachians that loom high above us or the colorful coastlines of the Atlantic to the Pacific to the gorgeous array of flowers that adorn your yard to someone’s yard across the country, we are beyond blessed and surrounded by nature.

Sometimes after sitting at my desk all day long being surrounded by man-made products like the computer screens that I’m staring at now, it is nice to take a break, go outside and take a walk down the street. Sure, you’ll still see plenty of man-made items (of which there is nothing wrong with), but you’ll likely encounter some natural phenomenon while upon your stroll. I try to take a break a couple times during my hectic work day to take a short stroll down the road that our office is situated on. Usually I’ll encounter George and Martha the Canadian Geese that usually are perched along the side of the road hissing with delight as we walk past them, or occasionally, I’ll glance up at the clouds billowing in the sky and it just allows a few moments for my mind to be relaxed and be taken away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday monotony.

The next time you are outside or on a trip, I encourage you to take a few moments to capture your surroundings and enjoy the sights that we have been blessed with. Below here, I’ll include a few photos of varying nature sights that have always amazed me and provided a sense of peace and comfort to me.
