Natural Treasures: Hiking in Your Own Backyard

Ever take a stroll around town and try to observe the different types of flora and fauna around, right in your own neighborhood? Sometimes it's easy to shrink behind computers and lose sight of the brilliance, diversity, and natural beauty that is nearly bursting a the seems of the indoor world. From various types of grasses, weeds, and shrubs, to great, powerful trees and mighty wind, nature is all around us, displaying her majesty, if we take a moment to look. Just look at the colors and textures we found sprouting up in just a short, 5-minute walk down a Gainesville, Florida street. Astounding, isn't it?

This weekend, get outside and explore the natural treasures around your home!
