I've been walking a lot with Mason. Spending time in nature is healing the soul and I wanted to share some pics from around town.

Yesterday it was raining for a while, but after it stopped we took a walk around town.

Anthriscus sylvestris or Queen Anne's lace blooming in the foreground, Bird cherry in full bloom as a backdrop and wild strawberries blooming on the rock. Everything is blooming!

Red currant bush in bloom in the foreground

View across the river with some sweet smelling bird cherry flowers

 

 

One of the problem signs of grief is wanting to be isolated. Hey, I'm just warning you ahead of time. I love isolation because I love myself and I can entertain myself intellecually, but there are limits.

Gorgeous nature pics.

all those wild animals are far more dangerous than living in Australia where all we have are a few snakes.

Spending time alone in nature would be the best thing for her.

I agree. Right now nature has great healing powers, the beauty is almost overwhelming.

It's not like I walk straight down into the dark, deep forest and sit down on a mossy rock and cry. There are a lot of nice walking paths around town. Sometimes I run into someone I know, stop and talk, maybe I cry, but that's ok.

The lilacs are out

All of a sudden I smelled Lily of the valley and started looking around... Sure enough

Then we walked down to the park where the river leaves my town.

Not sure what that tree is called, will have to check  

eta: it's some type of crabapple (malus). I believe it to be Malus 'Royalty'

94 f here today with 64% humidity Ughh

It's 72 f here with 35% humidity. It's very nice!  

Pouring with rain here!

6C here, have to walk the dog now.

Wow! That's chilly for your corner of the world

On my bike it was like minus 1. I had really warm gloves on, but even they couldn’t stop my fingers freezing. It’s 7C this morning, so much warmer.

everything so pristine there.

vibrant colors and life to the plants

less pollution there is probably why.

The Houses and yards are all so flawless, Man, Beautiful.

Clean, neat and tidy looking.

I just camped in a Forest that was burned several years ago, the brush is all gone, trunks on the Pines all Blackened

and had to clean up other peoples trash as I came into the Camp Site.

Different World over here,

very few squirrels here now, Squirrels are my Alarm system when in the Wild, also, love to watch them play.

This Morning, only Birdie Visitors, no Deer around, I guess they died out in the fire.

@cynicalabsurdance Your narrow mind drives you. It's sad. How many youtube vide can I post right now? But no. Rog needs a different boost to now.

Thank you. Yes, it's for the most part clean and fresh and also compensation for the six months of darkness.
