I wondered as I read this “holiday” name.
I
was nervous that it was going to mean something I wasn't too crazy
about, like:
All
of the Earth and its resources are OURS (all for humans).
I
was ready to say, no, no they're not. We have to be mindful of other
creatures and of future generations.
But
actually it is a holiday devoted to appreciating sharing all that we
have, especially to those things that are free for all, like all the
beauty in nature.
I
can certainly get behind that!
So
go outside, if you can, and spot some bits of natural beauty wherever
you can. Plan an outing to a particularly beautiful local spot, and
maybe even plan a trip to a beautiful spot that is farther away!
Remember that perfectly ordinary sights can be amazingly beautiful. |
Beautiful
nature is soothing to us, fulfills us, inspires us, cheers us. What
is your favorite sort of natural beauty? What grand, sweeping bit of
nature seems most numinous? What teeny, often-overlooked bit of
nature tickles your fancy?
Here
are some of mine:
My favorite favorite "flavor" of natural beauty is Alpine scenery, especially summer in high mountains. Wildflowers and bright sun with snow-capped mountains - what's not to love? |
This is my own photo of an amazing spot in Yoho National Park. |
And I took this photo of my husband at Moraine Lake in Banff National Park. |
Another of my favorite "flavors" of natural beauty is rockscapes. Above is one of the most amazing spots at one of the most amazing caves I've ever visited, Kartchner Caverns in Arizona. |
And if I really, really, really had to choose THE #1 top most beautiful spot I've ever been, I think I would have to say Antelope Canyon - the slot canyons - in Arizona. |
Here are some places I have seen in photos but never visited - and, man, would they be amazing to see live, in person!

Pools and waterfalls in Croatia, thanks to karst landscape |
