Walk, Hike, Saunter In Nature

Seeking Wild We Find Wild Within

We need to saunter more than ever, relaxed purposeful walks for an hour without a cellphone, headphones, or distractions.

Camera in hand, make it purposeful, find hidden treasures right in front of you. Switch off, become a saunterer, we far too highly strung-out by modern day living.

Liberate yourself as a parcel of nature, missing the wide open spaces once again I am taking you down a walk where I accomplished just what I seek right now, a place where only nature talks, you listen!

Finding our way along the path starting with an empty mirror opens our mind as an artist, musician, photographer it lifts our spirits only in a way when we let go and let be.

Freedom of spirit is more a personal thing, more than movement a way of quietly becoming one within your surroundings noticing what you may not have seen had you been running or doing a brisk walk.

Pulling a piece of grass to chew the ends, something we do here perhaps in your region finding berries or fungi to enjoy, learning more with each step, an adventure.

Walking along a river with gurgling water between the rocks, finding personal freedom..., as the weight of the world lifts off your back with all the oppression we encounter.

As our days become shorter perhaps something we recognize more, when young time is not matter yet now time itself in nature is savoured while searching the bush for wild within and without.

Here I leave on this day of our walk that is varied reeds, grasses, flowers, rocks, with a tumbled tree that may turn to have another day enjoying itself with offshoots.

Thanks for joining in with a wonderful walk, it is refreshing simply going through old photographs and reliving a little of the past today.

You tell great truths, it is very true that we are more than aware of our devices and we have to change that behavior, doing outdoor activities away from them
What a beautiful place you have chosen to walk dear friend @joanstewart I love the shot of the cobbled lake
Excellent shots, you have taken really beautiful photographs

That's a wonderful walk with a wonderful sceneries, accompanied by a fresh air and the singing of a birds. With this kind of sceneries on thr way, for sure all your worries and anxiety will be wash away too by that fresh air remembering only the good feeling you had on that awesome walk. Love this, I think I have to walk again somewhere and enjoy life.

Absolutely stunning place to walk, long dry grass one does have to be on the lookout for ticks, normally prefer walking right up against the river finding the sound relaxing.

It would be nice to go for a walk in nature without distraction from social media or devices which we are so glued to. For the purpose of photography, maybe going without an internet connection might be an option for those of us without a camera except the one on our phones.
Beautiful walk you had in nature, it is much needed now and then.
