Nothing beats a long dog walk in the countryside

I know how much nature relaxes me and the stillness and peace I derive from it. Nothing beats a long dog walk in the countryside. But this is a fascinating article about how even looking at art depicting nature has a positive impact on us.

“Our brains are hard-wired to respond to trees, plants, the sight of leaves and even just the colour green.” Emma Mitchell, Author of The Wild Remedy.

Do you have a favourite piece of nature art? Can you post the pictures below? I’d love to see them.

Oh I completely agree Nicky. I would go crazy if I didn't have my little pup to take out!

I actually bought a little art nature book from Edinburgh Botanics recently, basically something I can take out with me on our walks and each page prompts you to draw/paint/doodle. It's really nice :)

  What a great idea Jessie Crawley although I don't think I'm creative enough to do anything remotely arty! 🤣
