REFLECTION WITH ALL YOUR SENSES
1. The day is May 10th
and me and mom decided to take a refreshing hike in North Vancouver. The air
smells new especially since the lockdown has happened so I have not got to
experience going out often, so it smells like freshly cut grass. There is a
small creek near me so I also can hear the water flowing and can see small
little fish swimming down stream. I feel so at peace here and often hear birds
chirping off in the distance I think they are communicating to each other. I
feel so peaceful in this forest like I cold just stay here forever and be in my
own little world. I see a wooden bridge that smells like fresh cut wood and
makes me reminisce when I went camping with my family. The sky is so blue today
and the clouds are as white as snow peeping out from the tall trees while I
walk down a path. I can hear the rocks and gravel underneath my shoes crunching
and leaves getting crinkled. Often there are bikers that zoom y me and they are
going full speed down the trails with no setbacks. Many dogs are here with
their owners and they bark at each other while passing by greeting one another.
This place is so silent but so loud, you can only hear the sounds if you stop
for a moment and actually concentrate to nature around you and it’s a beautiful
feeling. No man-made machines around an no artificial noises from this place. I
feel so calm and at peace with nature. After seeing and experiencing this place
I will definitely come here again to clear my thoughts and take a day to relax and
get away from technology for a bit.
1. This place is in North Vancouver, BC. A hiking trail. My observation time is 5pm and the weather is very sunny out and warm.
2. My mom actually found this place because I told her I want to go on a hike and its not to far out from home. There are so many great qualities of this place like the quietness you cannot achieve while living in the city and the smell of nature all around you. This place also allows pets if you have so we brought my dog.
