A tranquil and inviting forest scene unfolds in this image, capturing the quiet beauty of a woodland trail in late autumn or early spring. The perspective is from behind a hiker, who is looking ahead at a winding trail that disappears into the distance. The hiker is wearing a pink headband and a green backpack, suggesting readiness for an outdoor adventure. The trail is flanked by trees, their branches mostly bare but adorned with a few lingering brown leaves, adding a touch of seasonal transi…

My #silentsunday photo from a recent hike where I indeed saw the first little blossoms! I was so surprised to see them!
On the one side I was a bit sad as this means that winter is coming to an end and I did have far less winter hikes than wished. On the other side: spring is all around! Colors, more hiking routes, mountainbiking, ... all this is waiting 🙂

A tranquil and picturesque trail scene unfolds in this image, capturing the subtle beauty of nature in transition. The foreground is adorned with clusters of delicate pink wildflowers, their vibrant color standing out against the dry, golden grasses. The flowers add a touch of softness and charm to the otherwise rugged landscape. The trail winds gently through a mix of evergreen trees and shrubs, their green foliage providing a lush backdrop to the scene. The trees, with their varied heights a…

People who felt more connected to nature also reported higher well-being.
Researchers who study people’s relationship with the natural world often use the term
“nature connectedness.”

Nature connectedness refers to the extent to which people see nature as part of who they are
– whether they feel an emotional bond with the natural world and experience a sense of oneness with it.
Someone who has…

Rattlesnakes!
According to news reports, rattlesnakes are making their way out of their winter dens earlier than normal along the Front Range of Colorado due to the unseasonably warm weather in recent weeks.
If you plan on hiking this spring, stay alert, keep your dog close, and watch where you step. These warmer-than-normal conditions are not typical, which means wildlife behavior may be less predictable than usual.

Prophet Royal Robertson outside his home (from the documentary Make by Scott Ogden and Malcolm Hearn[1])
In this extract from the film Celestial Knowledge Credo Mutwa speaks about aliens or greys beings known as Mantindane in Africa.
Stories of alien sightings and landings of mysterious aircraft have emerged from Iino as far back as the 1970s. Tsugio Kinoshita, a researcher of unidentified flying objects, said he first saw such an UFO in 1972 at the age of 25. Kinoshita was hiking a mountain in Fukushima prefecture with four friends when suddenly a saucer-like shape appeared in front of them. “This thing stuck out in front of me.

Just a little one and a half hour walk nearby before it was supposed to be raining (and rugby starts).
It was a nice walk and good to be out. Strangely, my old GPS device refused to get a location despite having lots of satellites. Just 10min before coming back (after a couple of restarts and taking the batteries out and back in) it worked.
Fortunately, I only had it with me to test if my heart rate monitor also connects to it.
