I might be a little fixated on nature but that’s what does it for me.

I think it's impossible to be "fixated on nature" since we're a part of nature.

What a beautiful thread. I like dwelling on nice things.

I find my greatest solace is in nature. I love reading nature books and watching animal documentaries. David Attenborough's voice is so calming.

Still nature but at least there is also a human element. This my much younger sister in law with her baby with one of my much younger brothers.

Something about all those fliers facing up and this tiny baby’s face looking up appeals to me. If her eyes had been open it wouldn’t have worked as well. But with them closed, the face isn’t as jarringly different from the similarly sized flowers.

Wow, so beautiful, thanks for sharing!
