Enjoy the little things!

We may not be able to fly anywhere right now nor plan any vacations but we can savor the little things. This is the first of 3 posts sharing some of the beauty in nature that my kids and I have encountered on our walks and adventures. One of the things that I have really enjoyed these past couple of weeks is nature and how beautiful the area I live in is. Wildflowers, grass, trees, blue skies: they make my heart sing. I am so grateful right now for the beauty in God’s creation. So today I am sharing some pictures my son and I took last week on our outings.

Wildflowers

This one has become my new phone background. The Indian Mounds is the only place I have seen with fields of wildflowers.

I love the variety in color. I just want to sit and enjoy the beauty.

Trees

All of the pictures were taken by my son. He has a great eye for composition!

This was a spot I had never seen at the mounds, a little swamp.

Look at the green grass! Doesn’t it make you happy (or perhaps sneeze!)?

This last picture is from the state park. We went back yesterday for a picnic.

Large expanses

I cannot wait to go back! Until they start charging an entrance fee again this is going to be my go to spot for blog pictures.

I will leave you with a picture of the turtles: we did not see any snakes on these particular two outings. I know some of you do not like snakes!

So go out there and enjoy something in nature! It may not be a large nature park but even a small spot of grass in the shade of a tree can bring peace to the soul. I sometime sit in my yard facing the trees instead of the street and enjoy that small spot of nature. The sunshine and nature are great balms for your spirit!
