Friend @porters, I think you are doing the right thing by connecting with nature, it is a very appropriate way to disconnect from all this madness and all this fear printed in the energy of the collective, it is like a gray cloud from which we must try to get out. I support you because I do the same as you, I escape in the morning to breathe the energy of nature and be comforted by that beautiful sound and with that peace. Your photos are beautiful, I have also taken some on my trips. Have a nice day and blessings to you. I really liked your post.
