LightAngel Posted October 19, 2022 Author #401 Share Posted October 19, 2022 When you love nature then you already know how wonderful bird songs can be. So the results of this study aren't really a surprise - not to me anyway. Birdsongs is good for mental health: "When you next hear cheerful twittering of birds, you should stop and listen. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf have shown that birdsong reduces anxiety and irrational thoughts. Their findings are published in the journal Scientific Reports." https://www.mpg.de/19373671/1017-bild-pm-2022-october-149835-x?c=2249 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightAngel Posted October 23, 2022 Author #402 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Something magical happened this morning. I woke up early and I open the window to get some fresh air because I love the air in the fall. The birds were singing so beautifully (I can't describe this perfectly with human words) - the singing was coming from the left and the right and from the sky and the ground at the same time. I stood there closing my eyes so I could listen more intensely (at least for 15 minutes or more) - it was so wonderful. This was magical because I have never heard the birds sing so beautifully in the fall before. It was one of these moments of oneness - I felt everything is just the way it should be.

+Desertrat56 Posted October 24, 2022 #403 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I took an unnplanned trip yesterday to check on my 5 acres in the mountains and I took tools so that while I was there I could start taking the fallen shed apart to haul down. It was so nice to be where there was no wifi whine in my head. Fresh air, and some exercise I really needed. I took a hike around and enjoyed the silence and clean air. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more we realize that we are also nature - the more our souls want to connect to the real world! Fresh air and some exercise is the best - if you then add a lunchbox full of secrets then it's even better. I am glad you had a lovely day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightAngel Posted October 27, 2022 Author #405 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have always been fascinated by hummingbirds because they are so cute and small (people can sometimes mistake them for bees) after all, they are the smallest birds in the world.

It sounds to me as if your beauty inspired in them birds a symphony they simply couldn't resist! A good word to connect the quality of musical sound you heard is 'omniphonic' Have a blessed day ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a question about the word 'omniphonic' because I don't know that word (English isn't my first language) - did you spell the word right? Didn't you mean 'monophonic' or maybe 'homophonic'? or maybe you meant something else I just need an explanation here.

LightAngel Posted October 28, 2022 Author #408 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I can't edit my post anymore. When I replied it was very early in the morning, and I was still half asleep. I get what you mean by the word, but I have never seen it put together like that before, but I like the word 'omniphonic' since omni means 'all'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightAngel Posted November 10, 2022 Author #410 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I really don't like politics - so I don't like it when Netflix adds political propaganda to their films, etc. But they are excellent when it comes to their nature documentaries! We saw this, and it is breathtaking - there are just so many wonderful moments in this series. "Island of the Sea Wolves" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplybill Posted November 10, 2022 #411 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I’m currently on a 4-day hiking trip with two former coworkers in Sedona, Arizona, in the southwest American desert. It rained most of the day today, so instead of hiking we drove through some of the popular scenic routes in Oak Creek Canyon and the Red Rocks Loop. Clouds, rain, and red rocks are the perfect palette for desert photography! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplybill Posted November 10, 2022 #412 Share Posted November 10, 2022 @LightAngel Have you seen the Netflix series ‘Moving Art’ by Louie Schwartzberg? It has some beautiful Nature videos from all over the world, with no narration. I watched a few episodes last night. https://movingart.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplybill Posted November 15, 2022 #414 Share Posted November 15, 2022 First snow of the season this morning in my little section of west-central Iowa. The hay bales are from the 6-acre hayfield on my property. My neighbor cuts and bales the hay for his cattle, and supplies me with steaks, roasts and hamburger patties in return. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplybill Posted December 18, 2022 #422 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I post a photo of the “Tree Shadow on the Corn Crib” on Facebook every year during the month of December when the sunrise is far enough to the south to make this scene. I look forward to seeing it every year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplybill Posted December 23, 2022 #424 Share Posted December 23, 2022 It’s cold out here on the Great Plains. -36F (-38C) wind chill factor. The blowing snow and cold temperatures create ‘sun dogs’ at sunrise and sunset. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
