He says, for example, how when it’s misty outside during golden hour, you get both rainbows and a perfect view. He also notes how unique colors are with animals and how they adapt to fit their environment, for instance, venomous animals look more ethereal and colorful.
Daniel’s favorite animal is the Baikal seal because of its uniqueness (how it’s the only freshwater seal), and its adorable big eyes.
His favorite outdoor activity is creating rock art such as towers, as well as the process of finding nice colored rocks to use for the activity. Other than that, he also likes canoeing, collecting seashells, practicing swimming and skiing in the winter.
