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 👀 😀

[peculiarzmakeup]

Luckily I don’t just visiting haha they scare me 😳 @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

Ooh! Okay okay. I don't blame you. They seem like such a ferocious creature. 🙀 @peculiarzmakeup How big have you seen them while you've been visiting?

[peculiarzmakeup]

That’s the only one I’ve seen fingers crossed they give me the shivers! Haha @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

I took a picture of Mars tonight. It was pretty high in the eastern sky between 8-9 pm eastern time.

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. 🌌💕

[peculiarzmakeup]

This is so cool! What a beautiful photo ❤️ @Ispend2much6

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. 😆

[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. 💚🩵
