0 degrees, no wind, back against a cedar tree, listening to a distant pack of hare hounds making the turn, heading your way.......................

Just reading this thread has been therapeutic. Thank you.

Right now! Hanging out with my 1st. 7 month old grandson! And happy my a/c is working!!!

My kids eyes lighting up when they see something in the outdoors that I’ve seen a thousand times and has lost its wonder to me.
The sound of wood ducks in the dark.
The whistle of wings over the river.
The whippoorwill’s song in the grey light just before the first gobbler greets the day.
The rattle of trap chain in the dark.
The smell of a just shot shotshell.
The peace that comes from being on top of a mountain.
My Belgium Browning Auto 5 mag 12 in my hand that I worked so hard to get.
The hints of my wife’s perfume on the wind.

Watching my daughter as she grows up what a delight that is
The smells an sounds of each season coming an going with that trapping fishing hunting foraging camping hiking to much to list with each thing but I'm sure you guys get it

Waking up at the cabin feeling the first cold morning frost over the ground.

First sight of a floating beaver tail
Was posted before but the words"Love you Papa"

The sound of rain on the roof
the smell of summer rain
The sizzling sound snow makes as it goes past your ear
The sight and smell of a nice campfire
Seeing a mamma duck and the ducklings in the creek
Seeing a does with two fawns
A spiderweb on a dewy morning
The smell of a slat marsh
The smell of the woods on a crisp fall day

You got some good-uns there, especially the bit about the hint of wife's perfume. Always brings a warm smile to my face.
