Spring is a very exciting time in the natural world. New life emerging with trees developing leaf buds, early blooming flowers emerging, and of course, mammals bearing new young and birds preparing to lay eggs.
I guess I developed a case of spring fever today when I went for a walk in my neighborhood with a friend. We heard a hawk screeching and birds singing. We saw several bright blue birds, 2 pilated woodpeckers, daffodils blooming, and so many more signs of impending changes of the seasons.
My main point is immersing yourself in nature provides a sense of peace and wellbeing not experienced in any other way. You don’t have to go far or have any expensive equipement to obtain this feeling. Keep your senses attuned and aware to any signs of nature and you can be awarded the same calm relaxing sense of peace.
This really IS an exciting time of year. I love looking around to see the first of everything.
