Such beautiful photos Shital, and I loved the accompanying words - a much needed cleansing it would seem. I especially liked the 2nd and 3rd pictures

"It is a surreal feeling to see life thriving all around me. Nature is not uniformly laid out. There is no particular order and everything is strangely interconnected and beautifully interdependent even as it is imbued with grace and character."

So beautiful and profund. You really got me on "nature is not uniformily laid out." Makes me thinks that mother nature is a true master when it comes to flowing with stuff! It's expression in its purest form.

Love the storytelling and the atmosphere that you manage to create with your words and photos! Thanks for sharing, Shital ❤️ looking forward to reading more about this retreat that you are doing

Such beautiful photographs and then you paired them with your insightful words. I find great peace in nature. I wish I had your eye to delve in deeper to what I’m looking at when I’m looking in my backyard.

Thank you for this piece. I love your description of the metamorphosis that occurred and the interconnected state that arises for you in the forest-world. I, too, experience that connection with my species being in natural environments, especially when I’m deep in the woods with only the dappled light and the sounds and smells of the place. Your photos paint a perfect visual of your journey. Thanks for taking us along.

I love that lone flower, second to the end. I would prefer to be there, then in the city, too.
