If at least five of them will get the initiative to reconnect with nature (in any way) you should be proud for being able to inspire people.
Love the pictures too by the way! Lovely shot of the river. I have some fly fishing pics I could share if you want for the next blog. Email me

Thank you Fly Shop.

I grew up with plastic plants and boulders as landscape for gas stations. Fortunately there were still trees and prairies and the sky and the call of the birds and the seasons to distract. Thanks for sharing this. L

Since then we’ve had urban chickens, quail, homing pigeons and bred rabbits… all WONDERFUL activities that the kids have been involved with. Funny though, that today I read your article and when I came home from work, they had rescued a fledgling Downy Woodpecker that was hobbling around under the porch with a wing issue. They connected to nature yet again. I LOVE it!

That’s all we wanted to do growing up is be outside! Scouts of America is good for being closer to Nature!

I’m personally counting on a trip to Scotland this summer to be an opportunity to reconnect with nature. Why do I feel I have to wait for a foreign vacation to do that?
