Day 259 of Week 37, September 2023

 

Creeping Smartweed (Persicaria longiseta)

The location of the random photograph is a mystery to me. Taken in 2014, I see a piece of blue braided strap, a chunk of red sandstone, and, a  dry leaf in the center that looks like a duck. The dark area is a deeper crack the red sandstone leans over.

Big landscapes leave out the small things we are closer to. The amount of feeling we have for the outdoors, the large and small views, I feel, doesn't differ widely. I believe our need to connect to Nature is one size fits it all.

Have a naturally wondrous weekend!

I just realized my change to the default font on this blog to the Delius font works! I went into the HTML page, found the header where the font I chose is, and changed it to Delius. I realize it work because the comments are also in the Delius font.

A Saturday in January

There are days when going out and about is the very least appealling activity that I want to do. Today, for example. But, I know the outdoors is the healthy choice. Out I go. 

This week's exercise outdoors was done the other day. No sense desensitizing myself by over doing it. I stay in the vehicle. Out and about is good no matter how far I go. 

Lake Champlain In January

In the last photograph, in front of the bouy, are white dots in a line. They look like ducks. I could see their movements are not white caps. The shoreline is about 15 feet down from where I drew dashes at the edge of the snow covered lawn.
