Finding Nature in the City

The Nature Walk Project, Entry No. 001, Vol. 2

In some areas nature is so prevalent and that it’s practically spoon-fed to you. In other areas you have to seek it out…bend down, look up, look past, and generally ignore foot after foot of concrete. But once you start looking for it, you’ll find that it’s always there, sometimes in the smallest of ways, but it is there.

Another great week outside!  This project is fun because it reminds me to look around and really enjoy everything that I’m seeing when I go for my mini-Nature Walks.  I’ll continue to post this week’s 30×30 photos on Twitter and Facebook.

Where you able to get outside much in the last couple of days?  Does it make you feel happier?

I’m happy to say that I was able to get outside for at least 30 minutes everyday last week.  It was a drizzly and rainy week so there was an abundance of mushrooms!  They only last a short while in the hot, sunny Florida climate so I tried to get pictures whenever I could.  I’ll continue to post this week’s 30×30 photos on Twitter and Facebook.

30 x 30 Challenge: Getting Outside

I recently read about the David Suzuki Foundation’s “30 x 30 Challenge” to encourage people to get outside.  It’s an easy concept, go outside and spend time in nature for 30 minutes a day, for 30 days.  I love the simplicity of this and thought I’d give it try! What better way to kick off the second half of 2012, than with a nature challenge?

Follow me on Twitter to get daily updates and photos from my 30 minutes in nature.  I’ll also do a weekly roundup of my photos and post them to Facebook and right here on the blog.  I’ll kick it off with June’s Nature Walk post later today!

For my Canadian readers, there is a contest associated with the 30 x 30 challenge where you can win prizes and fun stuff.  It starts today, so sign up quick if you’d like to participate!  I’m in the US, so I don’t get to participate in the official contest, but you can bet I’ll be outside anyway!
