"On the first Saturday of every month - The Nature Collective! TRAILS ‘N TAILS at 10 AM SLT and 6 PM SLT as we hike and explore different Nature Collective member locations with our dogs and other 4-legged friends. Come enjoy the beautiful scenery, energizing fresh air and great conversation during this casual event!" ~~

I'm writing to share with you an amazing experience I had on Saturday October 7th at The Nature Collective!

On the first Saturday of every month, The Nature Collective hosts TRAILS 'N TAILS, a fun and relaxing event where we can hike and explore different nature spots with our furry friends. It's a great way to enjoy the beauty of nature, get some fresh air and exercise, and meet new people who love animals as much as we do!

This month, the event was held at Mist Valley, an innovative and vibrant residential community that redefines modern living. Mist Valley is surrounded by lush greenery and scenic landscapes, offering a perfect blend of serenity and convenience. I was so impressed by the design and architecture of the houses, as well as the amenities and facilities available for the residents.

I brought my baby Fennec Fox with me, and she had a blast! She made friends with other dogs, chased rabbits and squirrels, and sniffed every flower and tree along the way. We saw so many different animals, like wolves, bears, moose, elk, deer, and even a skunk! Luckily, we managed to avoid getting sprayed by the skunk, but it was a close call!

After the hike, we relaxed at the coffee shop, where we enjoyed some delicious coffee and pastries. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and they even gave Luna Fox a treat! We chatted with some of the other hikers, who were very nice and interesting. We exchanged stories, tips, and contacts, and agreed to meet again next month.

It was such a wonderful day, and I'm so glad I joined The Nature Collective! If you're looking for a way to connect with nature and other animal lovers, I highly recommend you check out their website and join their next event. You won't regret it!

Where our journey begins - Fall of 23 

NON Member of the The Nature Collective!

Seasonal Autumn Spaces.

Set of 21 Photos!

A special place that I have discovered recently. It is a place where you can experience the magic of autumn in all its glory. Imagine a place where the sun takes a step back, the leaves lull themselves to sleep, and autumn is awakened. A place where you can immerse yourself in a world full of autumnal colors and peace. A place where photogenic and cozy spots are waiting to be discovered by you.

That place is "Where our journey begins", a beautiful sim that offers a variety of activities and attractions for you to enjoy. You can explore the paths that are lined with reds, oranges and yellows, enough to blow your mind. You can visit the farmers market, where you can find fresh produce and homemade goods. You can wander around the small town, where you can shop, dine and mingle with friendly locals. And you can relax at the superb café, where you can sip coffee and enjoy the amazing view over the sea, with a lighthouse in the distance.

This is a place where you can escape from the stress and chaos of everyday life, and reconnect with nature and yourself. It is a place where you can create unforgettable memories and capture stunning photos!

"And the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep, and autumn was awakened. Immerse yourself in a world full of autumnal colors and peace. Photogenic and cozy spots are waiting to be discovered by you. Enjoy your stay ♥!"

Florence

 Florence - October 2023

I'm writing to you from the beautiful Region of Florence, where I'm having the most amazing time of my life. You won't believe how gorgeous it is here!

The first thing that strikes you when you arrive is the big sky over Florence. It's so colorful and clear, and it makes you feel like anything is possible. The sun shines brightly every day, and the air is fresh and crisp. You can smell the sea and feel the sky, and it makes you want to let your soul and spirit fly.

One of the best things I've done here is to take a boat trip to the small islands nearby. They are so charming and peaceful, and you can only access them by boat. They are like little paradises, full of local trees and flowers that create a colorful contrast with the blue water. The islands are also home to many seabirds and wild animals that are native to these islands. They live in harmony with the humans, and they are not afraid of us. They are curious and friendly, and sometimes they even come close to say hello. This place is amazing! You can rent a holiday home here to enjoy it even more! Imagine waking up to the sound of the waves, breathing in the fresh air, and exploring the beautiful scenery. You will have the time of your life here, and you will never want to leave. Don't miss this opportunity to experience paradise!

The islands are also a haven for boats, especially in times of bad weather. There is a lighthouse on one of them that guides the sailors safely to the shore. It's a beautiful sight to see at night, when the light beams across the dark sky and the sea. It makes you feel cozy and protected.

The weather here is wonderful all year round. It's warm and ideal for outdoor activities, like picnics or boating. Even the seagulls respect you here, maybe because there is plenty of seafood to be found in the sea. They don't bother you or try to steal your food. They just fly around and sing their songs.

I wish you were here with me, my friend. I think you would love it as much as I do. Florence is a magical place, and I'm so grateful to be here. I hope to see you soon, and share more stories with you.
