I was invited yesterday to a presentation of photographs that a nature club gathered during an evening walk. The pictures brought the fullness in nature to a visible reality. I was encouraged with the enthusiasm of the participants and facilitators.
A nature walk can engage you deeply. Let me share few pictures from a walk.

At the end of the walk, there were enough sights to ponder upon: A widow, who makes her livelihood from rag picking; about 3000 liters of toddy consumed by the regulars in the toddy parlor close to where we live; the way the cashew nuts mature differently from the flowers blooming at the same time; the strange sight of the cow and calf in their natural habitat; wild fig tree with fruits, which would have been imported and planted by an enthusiast...
A walk is for leisure and exercise. We can add color to it, if we stay tuned to what we see and hear. Make the walk observational
