🌱 Diary- 5 Things You Noticed in Nature Today

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....

I ventured into my back garden today and loved seeing...

~ the sweet native violets growing where grass could be... I much prefer violets!

~ macadamia nuts on my tree

~ cute little tomatoes, gifted by "accident", I brought up for dinner

~ LESS lantana yay! In it's place LOTS of accidental Cape Gooseberries in their cute little lanterns are growing

~ a few accidental passionfruit vines growing too...

Thankyou Mother Nature!

Today I noticed 2 baby magpies in my yard with their parents right beside them protecting them from a couple of neighborhood cats. So nice to see how the maggies look after their youngins.

Yesterday I noticed in nature/creation:

Late afternoon sun peeking through coloured clouds.

Heard s gentle breeze rustling through the trees.

Seasonal trees shedding their leaves.

Gloomy get skies all day (sun day)

Planted bulbs

planted herbs

smelt lavender

repotted succulents

saw worms wiggling

watched sunset

Seasons are gradually changing.

Hello Everyone…..🤗..

 

Ive been sitting out back, resting in between planting a tree, weeding my sorry looking gardens and tidying up, when I saw something really beautiful and this thread came to my thoughts….

 

I saw a few beautiful creatures flying around, 2 that I watched for a while was an Orange and black butterfly and a dragon fly….The dragonfly caught my eyes the most, the way it was darting up and around my yard…I haven’t seen one for a long time, they really are awesome to watch….anyhow my lust of 5 things of my 5 senses I saw, felt, heard, touched, tasted and smelled today are….

  • 1…..The dragonfly…I watched so intently…
  • 2….The iced coffee I made myself….cold, sweet and refreshing..
  • 3….The smell of my geraniums as I was cutting them back…
  • 4….The twitter of the smaller birds as they are living there best day..
  • 5….The soil I felt between my fingers as I was taking out the weeds….

So many more things I could list today, the breeze, the clouds, the warmth of the sun, ants scurrying around…..Have you been outside today? ….If so what did your 5 senses let you experience today….

 

Hugs, care and my love to all you beautiful people on these awesome forums…
