to do: nature walk

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is to go on a nature walk. I take a flat basket, a woven tote bag and a pair of scissors and just walk slowly, notice things, and bring a few little finds back to the picnic table for their closeup…

Instead of just keeping a pile of pretties, I take a minute to put them in rainbowetical order, you know, ROY G BIV?

For some reason this is a HUGE part of the relaxation of the nature walk, do not skip this part!

I took this photo of mushrooms from our yard this time last year, sadly not so many this year.

I also keep a lookout for anything I can cut and bring inside the house instead of buying flowers.

When’s the last time you took a nature walk?
