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. 

 

 

Spoiler

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 👀 😀

@curlychiquita I've caught it taking a bath before and it's adorable. I love it's skinny little legs.

[CynthieLu]

That is so cool @makeitup305 is that a dish of water in the second pic? Owls are fascinating little creatures. Your so lucky to have one visit your yard. 🦉

[makeitup305]

@CynthieLu Yes, it's a cheap plastic saucer from Home Depot that I stuck under one of the drip lines for my tree. He was there again today taking a bath. I get quite a few crows, doves, and finches, but they've been coming around less since it's so hot.

[CynthieLu]

That's very sweet of you to help them it with a watering hole 🩵🙏 @makeitup305  This is totally random, but have you heard that if you befriend crows ( or ravens maybe? 🤔) they'll bring you gifts? Just if they are already visiting you.. 😄

[makeitup305]

@CynthieLu I've heard the same thing. They're attracted to shiny things so they'll bring little tin wrappers, clips, coins, etc.

[CynthieLu]

I don't have a yard or even a balcony at my apartment complex, buuuut if I did it think I'd maybe try to make a little friend. 🐦🤗 @makeitup305 😂 

[makeitup305]

@CynthieLu they can solve puzzles, too!

[CynthieLu]

I didn't know that either @makeitup305 it makes me more curious to make friends with one thou. 😀

Just a little bit of nature waking trails around some local farms. 🐮🌼

 

 

 

It's hot but not *too hot*, that's kinda of my perfect sort of day to be out. This stroll happened close to evening so the sun was low enough to offer lots of shade. Found some cute things like a little turtle and a Blue Jays feather. Very neat!! 😄

[PrettyPaint]

What a cute little turtle! @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

They are fun to be spot @PrettyPaint 😀

[CorgiMommy]

That turtle is cool @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

I agree, I love running into these little guys, so cute! @CorgiMommy 

[CynthieLu]

Omg I've never come across so many large bats before, we usually just see small brown bats here but these guys were ginormous,and so many of them too! I was walking under a tree and my partner told me to look up. So spooky but so neat! 🦇 

 

[PrettyPaint]

@CynthieLu Wow!!!! I've never seen anything like that. I mainly just see them when they are swooping around at dusk. 

[CynthieLu]

Me either. It was a sight! I've seen the small variety out alone in the day. Just chilling on a wall or tree but this was so many of them hanging out, and the big kind. 😱 @PrettyPaint 

[curlychiquita]

Fascinating, @CynthieLu!

[CynthieLu]

It was @curlychiquita I couldn't stick around to be fascinated thou. Lol. It was kinda alarming and inspiring to look at. 🙀

@CynthieLu  I'm curious- what time of day was this photo taken?  I guess bats have to "hang out" somewhere during the day, but I never noticed them in trees before.  But again, that's where they all seem to fly from at dusk.  We have tiny bats, but lots of them.  Great photo!

[CynthieLu]

This was around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I have seen them during the day in trees, buildings etc.. hanging out on walls or corners of buildings and crooks and crannies etc.. but never have I seen big ones and so many of them just chilling like this here in my little corner of Ontario. But I know when I visited Vermont in cottage country they were everywhere, and thankfully because they definitely helped with the bugs. 😁 @Ispend2much6

Looking at our garden this year, I don't think ours eat bugs @CynthieLu lol
