Oxley Nature Center – Tulsa, Oklahoma
There is no better way for me to “get my head on straight” than to walk through the woods. Warm, dry, and sunlit is great but not necessary. I will go in any kind of weather, what limits me is the road conditions to the trailhead. Fall is especially magical with the demise of the bugs and heat. Nothing like a trail for me to reconnect with what it is all about and get a sense of perspective on things.
How about you? What do you do to get your head on straight.
I’m right there with you, man! When in doubt, get out and about! Connecting with Mother Nature always brings peace! Aloha!
I agree wholeheartedly and your photo illustrates the feeling beautifully.
I like to sit by the nearby pond and watch the ducks. The weather does matter, though.
beautiful picture. I love autumn in the woods. It’s my favorite place to be.
I’m with you, but would rather walk alone, to connect to nature.
I agree with you about walking to clear the head although in my case the seasons dictate where I walk…..ie….in Summer I know there will be snakes active in the bush so I avoid it then….you can’t clear your head if you are constantly worried about stepping on a snake….so I would much rather walk on the seas edge…..dip my feet in the cooling water and the sound of the waves is like a mantra for my soul. Enjoyed your post…it got me thinking!
I totally agree with you! Oxley is one of my favorite places. I wish I could get out there more!
Nature often has a major calming effect on me. Taking my camera for a walk is good for me too. 😉
in the first moment i thougt, it would be stormy and the wind blows the fall to every side! Herzlich Pippa
I had a lovely time catching up on your Fall walks and joyful Thanksgiving celebrations … And football! Happy times!
