I often do this forrest bathing in my own surroundings and never realized it had a label. I love finding the beginning and ending of thick web strands from tree to building to different tree, all the while wondering how in the world does a spider produce so much silk ... I love watching the birds--the ravens & crows, the family of red-tailed hawks, and occasional cranes. Also the variety of chipmunks and squirrels digging up their buried life treasures, guarding their territories, and just playing in the trees. I will now watch the trees more closely ... to see if I can witness a shuttering.

Thanks also for the references. Although I love swimming and do laps several times a week, I also do my best to forest-bathe whenever I have the chance--in the Oakland hills or out in Point Reyes.Elizabeth Fishelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427856357280557451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202288049668006882.post-61693979903372813902017-10-29T19:48:53.309-07:002017-10-29T19:48:53.309-07:00Thank you for sharing this Martha.
