Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos 🌿🌷🏞

[CynthieLu]

I love going on walks and if I'm lucky taking a few photos while I'm lost in nature. 🏞🌎🌺  Does anyone else enjoy that?

These are some of the views from a little walk today.

It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining but the breeze was cool. Everything smelt so fresh and we saw a few animals too. 😀

Feel free to share any photos you take out waking in the beautiful fresh air and sun shine 💚💙

I'd love to see what nature you see 👀 😀

@CorgiMommy  Thanks!  I can't get the reddish glare from Mars anymore, so I was happy to have gotten this.

[CynthieLu]

Noooo way! @Ispend2much6 I wish my camera could get that close. This is pretty amazing! 🌌

@CynthieLu- Mars will be at its closest to earth Jan. 12!  I took a picture of Castor, Pollux (stars,) and Mars at the bottom. You can find these three to the right of the constellation Orion's belt, above his shoulder. I didn't catch the line of stars that make up Orion's belt in this, but it would be to the lower right of this picture.

My camera is an iPhone 12, wide camera, and I used a slow motion setting.  I also enlargened the screen to make it bigger before I took the picture.

[CynthieLu]

Ooh you have an amazing view of the stars! @Ispend2much6 

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  We really do!  This was taken even with streetlights across the street.  At one time we didn't even have those, and the view was even better.

[CynthieLu]

That is sooooo true. The less light pollution the better for seeing the stars. @Ispend2much6  I love visit up north in the summer, we go far far away from people and cities and the view is so much more amazing than the city where I live. 🌌💕

Usually when I go to nature, I take a mat with me to do sports right away. I recently read https://betterme.world/articles/rear-delt-calisthenics/ and I think I'll start doing sports more regularly. It's best for me to do it outdoors. That's why I'll also share photos of nature with you now.

We took a little road trip, and passed a lot of cotton fields.  It looked like there was a lot of litter on the side of the road, but it was actually cotton balls that had flown off their plants.

I've seen these plants up close, and picked some cotton off of their hulls.  They feel exactly like the cotton balls you buy at the store (because they are!) but these still have their tiny seeds inside.  The cotton balls are actually the fruit of the cotton plant, called the "cotton boll."

It was a little tricky to take a straight photo from the car. 😆

The snow + field are such a beautiful scene that’s amazing to come across! Especially when it’s freshly snowflakes love this ❤️ @Ispend2much6  I just reread and realized that’s not snow still so cool! 😎 

[CynthieLu]

I've ever seen anything like that in real life @Ispend2much6 

It really does look like someone's just left a mess behind on the grass, but that's cotton from the plants? That's a really neat photo. 💚🩵

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  It really is!  I wanted to stop and scoop some up.

No filter, no edits, just a beautiful example of the seasons colors on our street with a giant red maple. 🍁❤️

We've been so lucky with a few days of warmer weather after a few weeks of chilly temps. I think the cold is coming back in a few days so we're happy to enjoy the sun and warmth for a little while longer here. 🌞

Oh my that is a lovely orange tree how magical! I love finding those beautiful blooming colors it’s like unreal but so real! @CynthieLu  ❤️

[Ispend2much6]

Further proof that the farther north you are, the better the fall leaf shades are! @CynthieLu 

[CorgiMommy]

Stunning @CynthieLu

We were looking for the comet that begins with a T this evening, and became confused.

We saw what looked like a comet tail (it’s called an anti-tail for some reason right now,) traveling horizontally while a faint “star”?was traveling vertically through it.

Saw some sky news tonight and there were actually two comets visible tonight and I think I captured them both!

Either that or it’s a fancy cloud. See the fuzzy circular thing with a tiny tail? Comet number 2.

I think it’s incredibly neat how much you now about the stars ⭐️ and planets! Thanks for sharing the info and beautiful photos it’s cool to witness and learn about ❤️💖 @Ispend2much6 

[CynthieLu]

Ooh two at once? That's gotta be a rare sighting. @Ispend2much6 🌠🌌 

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  I think the horizontal cloud was a plane contrail after all. lol  But I did "catch" the comet!
