What I love most about nature is... everything! I love seeing animals, flowers, and all the beautiful scenery outside. I also think rocks, trees, and plants are really cool to look at. Sometimes I like to see what different shapes the rocks are or what colors the flowers are. Being in nature makes me feel happy and calm, and there is always something new and interesting to discover when you go outside.
My favorite animal is the Fennec fox. I love them because they are so incredibly cute, with big ears, fluffy soft fur, and the cutest and most curious faces. Their big ears even help them stay cool in the desert. They are so playful, and have energetic personalities. They look like little magical creatures and honestly, it’s hard not to smile when you see one!
Hands down, I love being out on the water, paddleboarding with my mom. It’s one of the best ways for us to spend quality time together and the water feels so peaceful and relaxing. Plus, it’s a great way to get some exercise. We often talk, laugh, and enjoy the scenery while we paddle. Sometimes we see birds, fish, or if we are lucky, Manatees! It's a lot of fun spending time with her and something I always look forward to.
