A few of my favorite things - nature edition

• Falling asleep to the bubbling lullaby of a mountain creek
• The echoing of thunder over a lake . . . rolling, rolling, rolling
• The smell of pine trees after the rain
• The color of the sky before a snowstorm
• The resounding quiet that comes after a snowstorm
• The crash of ocean waves against the shore
• Crunching acorns and leaves underfoot
• Sunset
• Squishing my toes in fine sand
• Shooting stars - the best place I’ve ever been to see these was on top of a ridge (can’t remember the name) in the Blue Ridge [natch] Mountains, NC.
• Beach bonfire on a warm night – or even on a cold night
• Golden Aspen leaves in the fall
• Discovering sea stars and anemones in tide pools
• The type of algae which makes the sand ‘glow’ in the late summer/early fall at Ocean Beach
