What's the most peaceful place for u ?
definitely down by my favorite creek <3 I'm going to ramble from here on out about how great it is so prepare yourself for the word count if you're dedicated enough to read all of this. I apologize in advance haha
it runs across the street from my house down into a local park that's within walking distance from here. the park is about 40 acres of rewilded land that was a former stone quarry, and there's a beautiful landscape there with cliffs, hills, forests, and marshes that are barely reminiscent of those old days. the only signs that it was a quarry are probably an old stone staircase from back when the quarry was still in use and the fact that the park doesn't mesh into the otherwise flat ohio landscape LOL
my favorite part by far is the variety of animals that live there. if you're quiet enough, you might see the deer, ducks, songbirds, woodpeckers, ravens, crows, moles, mice, foxes, snakes, salamanders, tadpoles, frogs, fish, minnows, and more, and if you go out at night, you could find raccoons and owls, too! I've stumbled upon 30+ deer bedded down for winter in those woods as well as fox dens in the fields and it was honestly so magical !!
there's also the most beautiful flowers that come up in the spring and fall :) if you catch it just right, you can find my favorite, the beautiful white bloodroot, a poisonous flower that comes out for only a day or two and is too fragile to touch. they're so pretty scattered along the hillsides TTvTT
overall, the creek is my safe place. it's a place to hang out with friends, to relax, to listen to the birds, to paint, to draw, to wade through the shallow water, and to just,,,,,feel absolute calmness and tranquility. it's the most amazing place in the world <333
