I've also had a shortage of time to blog in as the harvest season meant a lot of work putting up food for the winter yet to come.<br /><br />Your photographs are terrific. What a great place to walk or ride a bike. The trees in your free heavenly gymnasium pictures are deciduous trees. Where I live there are primarily conifers. We also have maples and other deciduous trees and autumn is here and they are displaying glorious colorful leaves.<br /><br />Riding a bicycle is too much for me, given my state of health, and a problem I have with one foot, so I walk in the woods. It's the best form of exercise for me. I start out by doing a yoga stretch routine and then I walk no matter how I feel -- I walk. The physical result is more freedom of movement in my joints and less pain over the longer term but I start out stiff and sometimes in pain. <br /><br />It's critical for my health to be outside breathing fresh air and taking in Nature in through all my senses -- viewing the beauty with my eyes and thrilling to birdsong. <br /><br />A daily walk in a natural environment is not just exercise -- it's more than that. Many don't recognize that not being close to Nature is what ails them -- healing body, mind and spirit in the natural environment is free, accessible medicine we all need to make time for every day. <br /><br />Thanks you so much for sharing these images and for your friendship too.timethiefhttp://thistimethisspace.comnoreply@blogger.com
