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 👀 😀

That's a big boy @CorgiMommy 👀

[CorgiMommy]

He was huge but far enough away for everyone to be safe @danielledanielle

Wow, cool, @CorgiMommy!

[CorgiMommy]

Thanks, it is always a thrill to see one @curlychiquita 

[CynthieLu]

This is a lucky spotting @CorgiMommy do you see them often?? Gosh he is huuuge!

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu he is huge!  This time of year they are easier to spot.  This is a favorite spot to find moose until it gets warm and then they are more on the forest. 

[CynthieLu]

That makes sense, it's gotta feel much cooler for them hiding in the shade of the trees once the weather turns hot. @CorgiMommy good catch with this one! 📸

@CorgiMommy  You always have the most fascinating nature experiences!  Thanks for sharing them.

@Ispend2much6 thank you, I love to photograph wildlife with moose being my favorite

Caught this rare sight, a Great Blue Heron on the river bank. 

I walked the shore line and he followed along with me for a while. It was really neat, I've never seen one for such a long period of time. They usually are very shy and don't stick around when folks start appearing.

He eventually said goodbye and flew away. 💙

beautiful!! @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

They really are @makeitup305 😍 Do you have these guys around where you live?

[makeitup305]

@CynthieLu I just googled it and it says they're common here around bodies of water. I don't live near any of those so I haven't seen any in person. I have seen ground owls a few times in my neighborhood and hawks quite few times. The coolest bird I've seen in person is a raven. I thought I had a picture I could post but I can't find it. I saw a quote on TikTok the other day that said, "If you have to ask, it's a crow, if it's a raven, you'll know". It's definitely true. I saw it bathing in a river while hiking in Sedona and it was so much bigger than I expected.

[CynthieLu]

That's a good quote! We have a fair amount of those here, but I think being next to a lake brings a lot of birds to the area. I like that people say you can make friends with Ravens and they'll bring you little treasures, but I've never tried it. @makeitup305 🪙

[makeitup305]

@CynthieLu I've heard the same about crows. That if you feed them, they'll bring you shiny stuff they find as a gift. They are smart, too. I've seen some videos of them solving puzzles.

@CynthieLu   Good eye!  This one actually looks blue in your photo.  I can never decide if the ones I see are blue or gray.

[CynthieLu]

I get it @Ispend2much6 the ones I see are definitely a greyish sort of blue. This one was a great specimen, so friendly and beautiful. 💙

[CorgiMommy]

Fabulous photos!  I love blue herons, so majestic @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

They really are. I love the big elegant water birds too. @CorgiMommy 💕

[curlychiquita]

What great pictures, @CynthieLu!

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @curlychiquita 🙏 The camera on my phone isn't the best but in full sun and close to me, I really love the picture I got of him flying away. 💙
