“Woods-Walking” … Take One Hour
1 September
Autumn Meadowhawk
Yesterday, I introduced the suggestion of taking “Just One Hour” to consciously notice natural things whilst out walking. Several readers have responded with brief accounts of their outings … thank you.
A quarter of an hour after that post was released, I found myself reading the article you can find by following the link below. The author speaks of “Woods Walking” and it fits perfectly with my post. It speaks for itself (and has some splendid artwork) so I will leave todays post there, after sharing this extract:
I began to notice all kinds of things. As winter gave way to spring, I examined wildflowers growing on the edge of the road. Mushrooms sprouting from the many fallen logs within a few feet of the gravel. And bugs! So many intricate and beautiful bugs I had never bothered to notice before. And I kept watching that plant with the interesting seed pods.
By summer, several new plants were growing in the spot where I had found those winter seeds. Then tiny flowers bloomed.
What are you seeing in an hour of walking? Share your observations and reactions in the chat group linked to this idea …
