Have you ever taken time to realise the beauty that Nature brings in to your life?
Most people are attached to Nature every day. It can be by a garden, by a park you pass on the way to… or the view from a window to the outside world, we all have our connection to nature.
Often people are not aware until for some reason they think about it and then indeed think ‘yeah that is right’.
We often take it for granted and do not realise that we book our vacations to a destiny which in most cases has to do with nature. Beaches with the sea which is so mysterious like no wave is ever the same and you never really know what goes on under water.
Forests which supplies us with oxygen not only to breath in but by breathing it in we feel better and feel relaxed and satisfied. Thank you trees . We return from these vacations and tell everyone that we feel better, relaxed, healthy, energetic, have seen and done nice things and are ready in body and brain to go back to work in whichever way. Thanks to nature.
Do you ever feel how quiet and calm it is between say 11pm and 4am? It’s the time Mother Earth does its meditative beauty sleep and heals from the events of the day passed.
Then when the first daylight appears at the horizon, the birds start their chorus and are the messengers telling the world that Mother Earth’s healing is over and a new day has started.
I have a personal experience with that. Outside the house where I lived a few decades is a tree at the front side of the house near the bedroom.
Every morning a blackbird is there doing his alarm clock duty. “Blackbird singing in the dead of night” from The Beatles comes to mind and that is exactly what the blackbird was doing. “Hey you, time to get up, it’s a lovely morning, do not miss it” could be the translation of his mantra.
The odd thing was that I would hardly see the blackbird later in the day in that tree. Yet I would see him and his family at the other side of the house in the garden. Garden birds have their own territory like cats want to have too, so when the blackbirds for instance leave near the end of the year to travel to warmer places, they will return to my garden in this case before spring.
Just like for instance the robin does.
Every year I welcome him or them again and would I not have any knowledge of which part of the year it was I would be able to tell it was probably somewhere in November. The ones I see are known to spend the summer in Northern territories.
Those observations are also part of nature and people who have any connection to things like this will notice that it brings joy to their lives to witness it.
Some birdfacts
* Because tropical forests are so dense, most of the birds that live there do not bother to fly, but rather move from tree to tree by walking along the branches.
* Seabirds only drink sea water but never become ill because of built-in desalination glands in their heads. These glands filter out the salt from the water, and the excess salt is then excreted from their nostrils.
* There are more chickens in the world than people.
* Many countries have birds portrayed on their national flags. They include: Albania (double-headed eagle); Dominica (Sisserou parrot); Ecuador (Andean condor); Egypt (eagle of Saladin); Fiji (dove); Kiribati (frigate bird); Mexico (eagle); Moldova (eagle); Papua New Guinea (bird of paradise); St Helena (unnamed bird); Uganda (grey-crowned crane); Virgin Islands (USA) (bald eagle); and Zambia (eagle).
* The bird that makes the longest known migration is the Artic tern, which clocks up about 22,000 miles in a round trip. It breeds in the summer months in the Artic, then flies to the Antartic to feed during the summer months there.
* The Wandering albatross has the largest wingspan of any living bird, about 11 and a half feet (3.5 metres).
