During these times, it’s nice to be able to get out into nature, even if it’s only close to home.
In this video, I enjoyed an early morning walk along on a local trail in the heart of the small town that I live in, Petrolia, Ontario. The trail is part of the Bridgeview Conservation Area that runs along Bear Creek through a Carolinian forest. In the early morning, there are lots of different birds chirping away and I spot butterflies and snails, as well as a variety of early summer wildflowers. On some morning I can also find Great Blue Herons, Painted Turtles, Turkey Vultures and glimpses of White-tailed deer.
I hope you are also finding time to get outdoors and enjoy the benefits that nature has to give you. I know for me it is a part of my physical and emotional health.
