My favorite kind of trees. Weeping Willows
It's like this tree was trying to pass on a lovely idea...
Natures palettes...
I am grateful that I live in an area where I can go for a drive and see beautiful sights like this. Growing up in this area gave me ample time to play in the woods. I've been camping many times and I can show you some of the most breathtaking mountain views. Some of my best memories are of the nature hikes my dad would take us kids on. He knew all the "off the beaten paths" and every weekend he would pick a new one and head us out for an adventure. Everywhere. All over Jersey, Upstate New York, and PA.
Learning to appreciate nature and animals is a value that I believe most people don't consider as important anymore. Perhaps if people could just see how beautiful the world was meant to be, they'd be more mindful in taking care of it. My two biggest environmental pet peeves are 1) air pollution/smog. It disgusts me to see a truck drive past with the black smog billowing out!! How can you see the emissions you're letting out and not do anything about it!?! 2) Litter!! Maybe I'm just one of those that always has a bag on me to put garbage in until I find a bin. But then hold it! Or put it in your pocket. Throwing it on the ground assuming that someone else will get it is just pure laziness!! I was taught at a young age to love nature and all her gifts. From the air we breathe, to the waters we swim in, to the earth we live upon. These are all natural blessings given to us with the hopes that we as human beings would create a natural balance between our lives and mother earth. If only she knew how we were going to change her, would she still have invited us to live here??
