Welcome to the QOTW, this week we start a three week collaboration with Dreemport and @dreemsteem where you can win some Dreem tokens for your posts, and also be featured on the Dreemport website where your post can be curated and seen by more people! This week's question is about connecting with nature, and the ways that we all do it. Most people agree that spending time or connecting with natural elements such as forests, gardens, rivers and parks are a time that we look forward to and need. I wonder if you have thought about why we need to connect with nature like this? Why does taking a walk in the park feel so good, why does gazing at the sunset over the sea feel so good, and why is it that we need this time? How does it help us, why is it important?

There are so many ways to connect with nature, one of the simplest ways is to grow a single pot plant! Even just that small act can be something that brings some joy. Taking walks has to be an all time favourite, as well as visiting nature spots, especially those with a great view. Each of us connects to nature in our own way and we would like you to share a time that you connected with nature that was special.

Please share a story about a time when you travelled somewhere and connected with nature in a profound way, or when you just had an amazing day out. Which is your favourite type of nature to enjoy? It could be streams, waterfalls, mountains, desert, rolling hills, landscaped gardens, flower gardens, or anything at all! This would be a great time to share some photos of the places you have visited and enjoyed, I'm sure we must all have some photos to share these days.
