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  gorgeous photos! We don't have that much fall color yet where I live but it is starting to come on. 🍁🍂

@CorgiMommy Love this so much! We have ginkgo trees at our park and they’re the last to change but they never fail to be bright and cheery like these.

I FINALLY got to go on a “hike” today. Quotation marks because I literally walked 5 minutes from the parking lot to get here but it was down an unmaintained, dirt path. And yes, I hiked in a dress… 🤪

I spotter some water fowl by the water. They were a bit too far for me to recognize but it was nice to see them. Please excuse the quality, I zoomed in all the way, then cropped even more after.

@JoSometimes  yay birds! And you look so cute here! 💜

[JoSometimes]

Aww thanks @caitbird! It was a great day and running into them was a treat.

@JoSometimes  Looked like you had a great “hike” love all the wildlife you saw! I love the blonde! So fun!

[JoSometimes]

@ather Any day seeing wilderness is a good day in my books, even if it was only a few minutes away.

I’m glad I decided to shell out a little more for this specific wig. I originally wanted to spend as little as possible because I thought I would use it once but the cheapest one was definitely a you-get-what-you-pay-for kind of deal. Everyone’s kind comments keep encouraging me to use it more.

I think hiking in outfits can be challenging but worth it a little 😉 It's like I think the beautiful outdoors makes for an amazing backdrop for the purpose of photos (your hike outfit is like a total hot girl moment. I love it! 💕) but than come the challenges you can run into lol.

What is that white bird??

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu It was pretty far from where I was to really confirm but I think the white bird is an Egret.

I needed a quiet “me” day before work ramps up again next week. I got dressed, hopped in the car, and drove. I saw “park” on the road, turned into the lot, and eventually found that spot. I didn’t have a dedicated plan, so I didn’t get match my outfit to my activities. I had my runners with me, so that definitely helped. I don’t think I would have gone that way if I had other footwear unless maybe the entire path was maintained/paved. 

And thank you for your kind words! Your “hot girl moment” compliment made me feel happy and valid. Never thought someone would use those words when referring to me. 😊🥰😊

Yesterday’s complete OOTD. I wound up at the mall after for a post-park boba. 

[CynthieLu]

@JoSometimes I can relate to that, the next two months at work are going to be sooo busy. I am low key afraid lol but not really 😉 I just know it will be tough. 

Ah there's nothing like going out for a walk dressed up a little, isn't it a little confidence boosting? 💞 I think we should call them hot girl walks or tell ourselves that, right? and just feel good in the moment ❤️ with that little motto in our minds 😘

Ooh an Egret? I haven't seen one in a good long while!

[JoSometimes]

@CynthieLu Hot girl moments, hot girl walks. Love it! Definitely gonna use that next time! 🩷❤️‍🔥🩷

That's a lot of fowl @JoSometimes - I wonder if it's migration time.  I know we've got a bit of summer left because we haven't heard the Canadian geese arriving, which usually signals fall for us.

[JoSometimes]

@Ispend2much6 It’s a bit early. I usually start to see the geese migrate mid-September. How are the geese when they reach you? They are always pissed off here and we tend to leave them alone. When they cross the street, everyone just stops driving. 🤣🙃

[Ispend2much6]

@JoSometimes  Geese can be mean!  The ones that migrate here tend to just fly to a nearby wildlife refuge; I never see them otherwise.

A nearby city has a terrible problem with them.  Actually, wherever there is standing water, even a man-made pond, there will be geese.  Wherever they are they leave a terrible odor.

[JoSometimes]

@Ispend2much6 So they’re just always angry. Part of me always wondered if their behaviour changed once they got far enough south…

[Ispend2much6]

@JoSometimes  If true, I would believe it.  I grew up in the northern US, and now live in an area where the dew point frequently equals the humidity levels, and it makes me cranky.

[JoSometimes]

That’s a pretty drastic change @Ispend2much6! I love humid climates but only when I know I can escape back to some place cooler and dryer after. 

[CorgiMommy]

@JoSometimes looking cute as always!

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @CorgiMommy! 😊

One of my summer bucket list items was to hike to Hanging Lake.  Did it today and it was challenging but so worth it.  A truly magical place

@CorgiMommy That is incredibly serene looking.☯️ And a total unique spot. Thank you so much for sharing this place 💚💙 I've never sent anything like it 😍

Is it a very long hike?
