Nature walk 2 of 52!!! (Number 1 was my GLACIER WALK OMG... see my regular account for details). I am starting off my weekly nature walks strong this year... I really am excited to get out and about. This walk was a part of an amazing Educator Trek “Where Swans Fly and Bears Walk” put on by @naturalsciences. So incredible - we saw 37 different species of birds!!!!! Probably going to hike in Durham Friday morning if you wanna join 😉 If you turn the sound on, you will hear the geese and swans on the lake... a truly surreal and amazing experience. Reminded me of the last part of Mary Oliver’s poem “Wild Geese”: Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things.
