Does Nature Make Us Happy?

Yesterday, my husband, daughter and I went on a 3 hour walk in the hills around Littleborough where we live.

My last post, ‘Naturally Speaking’, was about the science behind why nature makes us feel better, both mentally and physically.

Here, in these photographs, you can actually SEE why it has such a huge impact on us. There’s something about all the blue and the green that is calming and serene. You can almost feel the breeze on your face, the sun on your skin, the crunch of the grass beneath your feet, the birds singing in the trees.

I don’t know about you, but right now, just looking at these pictures makes me feel happy!
