When you go into the woods do really every just think about what’s around you? You are literally surrounded by a time capsule of beauty and wonder. Trees so old you practically look back in time when observing them. The color of the leaves making the colors of nature’s crayon box.
The Beauty of the Woods
A Look into the Past
Nature’s Crayon Box
Next time you’re in the woods, think about what the tree in front of you; what has it lived through, what was around when it was young, and the pure beauty it possesses. For when you look closely, truly then you connect with the natural world.
