What a wonderful world,
we are bestowed with—
to immerse in, to enrich life—
this deep blue alpine lake,
surrounded by conifer stands,
aromatic smell of pine and fir,
wildflowers meadows blazed with,
paintbrush and fireweed in summer,
echoing with the sounds of pika,
and deer grazing nearby.
Why don’t we pause,
to notice this paradise on Earth,
instead of chasing money?
at the cost of our health?
Is not this nature time,
the real, fulfilling wealth?
Sure, it is,
it's what human soul seeks.
Let's revive love for nature,
and it will put an end,
to our self-made miseries.
Let's savor the spectacles of nature,
and justify the
finite, mortal journey.

Swallows Nests
Gourd-shaped swallow mud nests, even these birds know— we thrive in community support. Note: These mud nests are made by cliff swallows, often under eaves or bridges. They build nests in colonies, and I’m sure it gives them more safety. Together, their noise and numbers help fend off predators and keep themselves safe.

Beautiful words 🌻🌻🌻🌻
This would be great if it was really possible to do. I would rather be outside doing work instead of inside all the time. I do a lot of reading and note gathering (research) outside. Good job.
In the face of nature, I am farthest from the crowd, but my heart is closest to myself
