Daily Walks – Neighborhood vs. Nature

tierneycreates: a fusion of textiles and smiles

I mentioned in my October 6th post The House That Won Halloween, I am so happy that I can return to my daily walks and walk the distances I used to walk before my awful left ankle break in January.

I go either for a long walk through the surrounding neighborhoods, like the one I did when I discovered the extensive Halloween decorations I shared in the post The House That Won Halloween; or I go on a “Nature Walk” on the extensive trails behind the neighborhoods in the area I live.

The “Nature Walk” is a much longer walk and it is quite the different experience than walking through neighborhoods. Most of the time it is just me on the trail and all I hear is the rustling of leaves, birds, insects chirping, or the rustle of an occasional rabbit or squirrel rummaging around the foliage.

The deciduous trees are now changing color on my “nature walk” and I took some recent photos:

I really like this photo I recently took on my “nature walk”, it came out very “stylized” but I did nothing but snap the photo:

There are also lovely evergreen trees on my “nature walk”, here are is of one I edited with some filter I randomly discovered on my iPhone:

And finally, you know I couldn’t pass on an opportunity for some Black & White photography on my walk:

I do enjoy the “neighborhood walk” (faster) but it pales in comparison to the beauty and peace of the “nature walk” (longer). I appreciate having both options!

  3. I like walking too, and especially like looking at trees. I would like to one day see sequoias and red woods. Have you done/showcased nature inspired quilts.

  4. I also love going on walks and there’s a place 5 min from home I can do nature walks. It’s particularly beautiful in the fall and the temperature is quite pleasant. I also like that often around this time I can be out for the sunset.

  5. No real forest trials in my local area. I’ve a very short walk I use, that passes various front yards. Some you can’t see into, high fences. But others a snippet or more of a nice decorative space beyond.
    A few streets have wide verges and there are magnificent trees.
    I’ll be on that walk on the next 5 days as I have timeout at home before I travel away to a city south of here.
