Everyone who knows me, knows I am at home when I’m outside. I love hiking, exploring, climbing, just being outdoors and taking in my surroundings. In honor of Blog action day, I wanted to recommend people get outside and really get familiar with their surroundings.
I realize most people’s days require them to stay inside, but do you ever take notice of that park you drive by every day? Or that sprawling oak in your neighbors front yard that has been there for hundreds of years? When you drive into work today or home, take a chance to look around you and really look at the nature that surrounds you that you may not have noticed before. Take a break and instead of surfing the web, take a walk around the block and just pay attention to what you see. Just being aware of the life around you can make so much difference to how you treat it. If you appreciate the beauty you will be much less likely to do anything that could hurt it.
I challenge you to get outside this week and tell me what you saw. Go off the beaten track and walk a trail, bring your camera and take some pictures. You never know what you will see. I went hiking a couple of weeks ago and just 1/4 mile into the hike I was rewarded with this.
