🌱 Diary- 5 Things You Noticed in Nature Today

[Guest_1055]

Can you think of 5 things you noticed or observed in nature today, using all your senses?

I was wondering if this would be a beneficial exercise to help us focus on something else instead of painful emotions, troubled thoughts, over thinking, anxiety feelings and the darkness of that alone place.

As well as to see that there really is beauty all around us....

1. The sound of distant thunder

2. The smell of jasmine in my garden

3. The feeling of the wind through my hair

4. The taste of parsley from my garden

5. The sight of a flock of wild ducks in my back yard

Today I noticed

The sheep still asleep in the early morning looking like big round stones

The reflections on the dam

The way the hen's spread their tail feathers to help balance them when on a wheelbarrow

Feathers and colours of a honey eating bird

The rough skin of the Blue tongue lizard I picked up to take to some water.

Challenging today. That is so cute Mrs D, how the hens do that with their feathers to keep balance. I have never heard that before.

1... tasted some sweet fresh pineapple

2...felt the texture of a young Thai coconut

3...smelt a mango

4... looking now at the withered roses on my bedside table

5...I pretty much always hear the chirping of birds

Hi Shelly anne,

I haven't popped my head outside yet, so don't know what nature is doing.

Just wanted to quickly mention the chooks. They are so funny at times.

-Chooks fan out their tail as well as spread their wings to help keep balance.

-Willy Wag Tails try to distract you from their nests by flopping about on the ground pretending to have a broken wing.

- One of the sheep yesterday was sleeping standing up resting his head in the V of a low tree

- The sunrise was a gorgeous yellow this morning, I could see it through the windows

-We had a light shower of rain that helped to clear the air and sounded peaceful of the roof.

Hi Mrs D, yeah I was aware that their was a bird that pretended to be hurt. It's awesome how they act like that, very sacrificial ( not sure if that is a word) of their little ones. I really like Willy wag tails, it is like their whole body moves with their wagging.

I never really made it outside much today, but I did:

1........ hear the croak of this frog in the downpipe, it's croak sort of echoes.

2.......And I tasted some grapes, but only a few.

3.....I smelt garlic roasting in the oven.

4....I felt tears on my cheeks

5....I saw how dry the grass actually looked

Hello Kaitoa, oh you did good, with all "rain" things.

Hey!

1) I noticed a group of friends laughing, at a cafe

2) I noticed the clear night sky

3) I noticed the smells of dinners being cooked from all the different kitchens

4) I noticed the cool breeze

5) I noticed that Bundy must always take a dump in front of the whole wide world!

This isn't actually the first time that I have noticed this but yet again he always knows when I am needing a good dose of humility.

Tonight he waited for about ten cars to be waiting at the lights, and right in front of them all he took a huge dump.

He's the size of a small pony...his "business" is massive!!!

And, who is the egg that must clean up after him...me of course!

MuchLove&Humility

Hello everyone!

Ah you must absolutely love Bundy Kaitoa.

The 5 things that I noticed are all at the beach.

1.....the smell of salty sea air

2.....the gritty yet soft feel of sand on my feet

3....the noise of the seagulls

4....um taste, I just need to image now the taste of salty water. Because I have tasted that before, and it goes with the beach theme here.

5....And I saw the rough looking waves as they came rushing into the coastline
