This week we asked: What does listening to nature look like?

(Read more about Love of Nature on our resource page.)

From Charise: Listening to nature brings our family so many special moments.

From Lauren: “I love how 5-year-old Mikko connects with our neighborhood beach in such a matter-of-fact manner. He kicks off his shoes as soon as he reaches the sand and throws himself into his playtime there.”

Lauren blogs at Hobo Mama.

Marisa blogs at Deliberate Parenting.

When Jesse listens to nature, it always says come play!

Splashes in the lake, ribbits from frogs and the buzz of insects were
a few of the sounds of nature Joshua heard on his first fishing trip.

  1. Such beautiful pics!

    I’m so jealous of Arpita’s picture location!

  2. This theme reminds me that we don’t spend nearly enough time immersed in nature! Great photos, everyone! Thank you for sharing.

  3. I love the EC camping picture. We took our son camping for the first time when he was just about a year old and brought his Fisher Price Froggy potty with us!

  4. I love all the nature pictures! Especially all the splashing in water!

  5. Such lovely photos of families in nature! I’m especially enjoying Mikko’s footprints in the sand. =)

    All of these photos are beautiful! Makes me want to take another camping trip with the family.
