Icebreaker question

Share something from nature that has awed you or brought you peace recently - perhaps a flower, a view, a photo, a scent, a potted plant, a bird that flew past...

- Georgia / friendly deer in Clissold park
- Yo / Squirrels burying walnuts in my potato plant beds :squirrel:
- Malvika / we have a big plant that my partner is taking care of, but you can eat that too - and he feels that its unfair for me to eat his plant baby. :four_leaf_clover:
- Laura / the sun just broke through the clouds here briefly :sun_behind_cloud:
- Emma/ I've seen some cheeky seals just off the sea wall at Farlington, Portsmouth.
- Arielle / I have two mares and their foals that I see on my daily walks and have been enjoying watching them grow up over the summer!
- Eva / My cat has been extra cuddly and cute recently
- [name=Teresa] Birdwatching! It always relaxes and amazes me at the same time.
- Lena/The smell of the fall on a dry slightly chilly morning :maple_leaf:
- Paul/ Te ducks at Alexandra Park, Glasgow
- Kate / Geese flying over head every evening at the moment!
