Winter is not always the most cheerful of seasons, but there are moments to appreciate. A friend of mine, Ginny Stibolt in Florida (visit her webpage here), always takes time to appreciate #amomentinnature and I’d like to adopt that as a monthly feature here.
When she shares these moments, I like the feeling it gives
me. It is a call to slow down our busy day and appreciate these moments of
nature. It is also a reminder that these things are fleeting and should be
cherished. Her most recent one was about mushrooms
growing from a sweetgum ball, tiny fungi that will be gone in a day or so.
So here is my moment in nature for January: morning sun lighting up a patch of Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) on the back of my property with a glimpse of an old lake in the background and fading American beech leaves (Fagus grandifolia). It is a simple vignette that lasts only as long as the sun is rising.
I hope posts like these (and Ginny’s) will help you notice
your moment in nature from time to time. I captured this one with my phone, so easy to do these days and save the moment.
