While it is only January, the sun is out and spring is right around the corner. Give some thought to trails you would like to walk down, vistas you would like to rest your eyes upon and sounds you want to listen to. Sounds of birdsong, rustling of branches, whisper of grass growing. Watch the robin tilt his head to listen for a worm crawling. I would like to hear the sounds of a new fern shoot unfurling.
My hope is that you will break out the hiking shoes and head out while it is still winter enough to encounter naked trees, bare bushes, and morning fog. For those of you who enjoy catching the dawning sun, hit the trail early enough to see the first light of day through the fog. Watch the flitting birds search for a breakfast bug. Be thankful for toast.
Vernelle, I love reading your blog. Reading your descriptions of walking in Nature is like walking along with you, seeing, hearing, smelling, breathing the same scenes and sensations that you are. When I miss you, I can just come to your blog and take a stroll with you. Looking forward to actually accompanying you on some of your walks!
