Mental Nature

North Park Village Nature Center on November 2020

This photo was taken early in November when the leaves started turning to its beautiful fall colors.

Our outdoor saunters, especially during this season, give us some peace with nature and the feeling of mildly arid leaves crunching under our path. Total ASMR vibes. We cherish scenic drives and leisure activities as they offer us a little silence away from some of the internal noises that may have built up.

Walking everywhere and anywhere was something I loved to do with my dad; being able to capture small moments while enjoying the views with him. Every time he prepped up to go somewhere, I would immediately stop what I was doing to go with him. And it became a habit that he would wait in his minivan expecting me to join. I hope to pass this experience on to my little ones so they have another way to destress and regain serenity, and as a way to bond with me just like I did with my dad.
