Favorite Place

My favorite place is the Bog Meadow Brook wetland corridor behind my house. I believe strongly that experiencing nature to relax, reflect, and refresh is critical to our physical and mental health. I value any retreat to experience nature, whether hiking miles into the Adirondacks, feeling the surge as the sail harnesses the wind, or walking a few hundred feet in the woods in my backyard. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity for more adventurous international natural experiences in travel to European open spaces as well.

The observation of natural forces and systems, plus the effect of the change of seasons in the wind, sun, temperature, and mood on those natural spaces is valuable to our human experience and many aspects of our lives. These experiences in nature, as with just about any events, are enriched when shared with family and friends.
