Gratitude Day 10: Nature

Follow my blog with Bloglovin



Good morning everyone and hope you are having a lovely Saturday so far! Today I'll be discussing why I'm thankful for all that nature has to offer! I love this theme because I'm definitely an outdoorsy person and love exploring new places! I appreciate the little things like a beautiful sunset or a lovely view of the ocean, really it just makes me pretty happy!  I'm actually obsessed with nature reserves as well. It's fun to just walk and listen to the birds chirping and seeing the different trees and flowers. I promise I'm not weird, I just love going for walks.

Sunsets can be one of the most beautiful things that nature has to offer and I'm so thankful to be able to witness them. There's something so pretty about the different colors from the sun that all seem to fuse together as it sets. I always seem to catch it at the right time and I just have to take a picture of it. Here are a few from my collection.

I'm thankful for the beauty of nature itself! I love the ocean or even going to a lake because I have some good childhood memories at lakes. There's something very peaceful about going to the beach and listening to the sound of the waves crashing. I could never see myself not living by the coast because I've been growing up near it for all of my life so it's what I'm used to. You can't beat going for a swim when it get's very hot in the summer time.

I'm thankful to love hiking and exploring different trails and nature reserves. If your a nature person I feel like this is a given. I have only hiked up a mountain twice and it's so much fun and challenging, but once you reach the top the view is worth it!

As you can tell I really enjoyed today's theme and I'm sorry it's so long. I love living in England and I can't wait to explore around more here but I do miss things from back home as well. Exploring the outdoors really makes you appreciate and be thankful for all that nature has to offer. I would love to hear your stories about nature too! Do you love the outdoors? Thank you for reading!

Until tomorrow,

Ashley

  1. Such beautiful pictures! I wish I loved the outdoors just as much. Don't get me wrong I love nature and the scenery it's so beautiful! But I'm just not a hiking type of person. Wish I was. This is definitely something to be grateful for. Well done! :)
