Being close to nature


Something I love and enjoy doing is hiking. When I achieve my goal after the exertion of a hike, the feeling of accomplishment is incomparable.
Hiking keeps me in touch with nature and its beauty. As I walk along, I make it a point to notice the blades of grass, the branches of trees laden with wild fruit and flowers, the way sunlight peeks through the thick foliage... I make sure I don’t miss listening to the sounds of nature - the rustle of the leaves, the birds singing... The smell of the fresh, crisp air, unpolluted by vehicular traffic never fails to refresh me. When I hike, I take a break from technology… and I survive!
Hiking is such an exhilarating experience, and I am always game for a hike…
Here’s one of the pictures I took when I went hiking in the mountains of Santa Monica last summer.
