Fortunately we live very close to a city park. It takes me about three hours to walk around it, or a half hour on a bike.

I live just across the road from a small woodland area and a larger Nature Reserve, and it never fails to delight me to walk through it in any season.
Best wishes, Pete.

Our home is surrounded by forest and right now it is just alive with bird and frog song. The first thing I do every morning is step outside to breathe in that glorious scent and listen to it. I call it The Forest Tabernacle Choir.
Love the quote and your photo! Chris
