As a competitive dancer I sadly do not get much time outside, but when I am outside I enjoy it quite much. Nature allows you a certain type of feeling that you cannot experience anywhere else. With nature you have the ability to connect with your surroundings and feel the life around you. While I was at the Noland Trail I was able to hear the river and insects , smell the ocean, touch the trees and leaves, and almost taste the rosemary through its strong smell. Lucky for me I love the sound of crashing waves and with a short walk I am able to walk on the Noland Trail and listen to what I think is a beautiful noise. The best part about nature is how unique it is. Not every tree, leaf, stone, and fruit are alike; they all have a uniqueness to them. The Magnolia Trees on the Noland Trail have nice waxy leaves and when in bloom have big fragrant white flowers and large seed pods. This is different to the Evergreen tree that keeps its leaves throughout the year.
With each plant you can read it by how it looks. A flower in bloom will be tall with colorful petals while a malnourished flower will be lopsided with dwindled petals. It is an amazing thing at what nature and can and how it can make you feel. I feel so lucky to live a 10 minute walk from the Noland Trail and have its beauty available to me all year long.
