My fav parts of these sorts of environments are a tent, a chair, and just paying attention to it all. Can just sit there watching it all for a loooong time. My fav is the bird societies all establishing their own territory over the best spots for ground bugs, and watching the bees wondering what flavours the flowers would be making their honey.
The sunrise and sunset moments are the most interesting as it's like watching rush hour for all these different animals before they swap shifts with the nocturnal critters.
Bonus points is in a valley surrounded by elevation, or up in Highlands overlooking the the edge of the horizon. Oh, and a nice swimming hole or creek nearby to have a float and check out any crayfish, all those insects that get around on water like it's land, and nocturnal critters tucked away up high in a tree by their water source.
These are my favorite moments as well.
last saturday, I heard a thunderstorm rolling in just at sunset. A sat on the floor of my porch to see the sky, and I swear (maybe it was the pot), I had a spiritual moment. From the neighborhood, you could hear the local population setting off the small fireworks, further in the distance you could hear the larger fireworks going off, and then here comes mother nature with hers. The thunder started before the rain, it was purple! Purple lightning! I had never seen it before! I tried to get a photo, but failed, so I just sat and watched until the purple changed to blue, and the rains got heavy. Just, beautiful.
I love watching the land and all its creatures.
So you’re a voyeur
