When the world is upside down and out-of-focus, a hike along a muddy trail in the fresh air and sunshine does wonders.
I took this photo back in 2020, when COVID had shut the world down and we were confined mainly to our homes. For a while the MetroParks were closed but once the nicer weather rolled around it was evident that being outside in the fresh air, sunshine, surrounded by Mother Nature's glory and wonder was good medicine and good for the soul.
Fast forward 5 years - 2025. COVID is a bad memory and the MetroParks are still a calming escape for today's crazy, upside down, who-knows-what-the-hell-is going-to-happen-next world.
The flowers know that politicians are temporary.
ReplyDeleteParks and being among nature is perfect for these times of upheaval.
ReplyDeleteI bought one of those crystal photo balls early on during the pandemic and I have no idea where it is now. I'm going to look for it.
I feel so much calmer when I walk through our woodlands, parks and seafront promenades. It makes me feel so grateful to be alive.
