Coming up with figures we see in the clouds will resurface those youthful vibes within all of us.

6. After-the-rain smell

I wish there was a perfume or cologne that smelled just as it does after the rain. Nothing is more soothing than it.

7. Walking barefoot on the grass

Giphy

It is such a relief to be shoes free. Just be careful to watch for the critters that live in the grass.

8. Water music

Nature provides us its own orchestra. This includes but is not limited to waterfalls, ocean waves, rivers, creeks, and streams. All of them follow their own beat.

9. Chirping birds

To accompany the orchestra of nature are its singers the chirping birds. Just like August Rush said "The music is all around us, all you have to do.. is listen."

10. Mood lighting

There is no sound more satisfying than the crunch of leaves under your feet as you go for a walk in the park.

15. Puddle jumping

You are never too old to enjoy a good puddle. The bigger the splash, the greater the fun.

16. Snowball fights

The only time I will enjoy a battle is in a snowball fight because both sides always win.

17. Sun Showers

It is so rewarding for a sun shower to appear on a blazing hot day. It is Mother Nature's way of helping us to keep cool and still enjoy the sunshine.

18. Feeling the breeze

Deep peace and relaxation are always obtain when breathing in the fresh air of the cool breeze.

19. Apple picking

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Thank you nature for being our source of nourishment and health.

20. Kite flying

The connection of lightning and electricity where confirmed while flying a kite. But kites are also just a joy.

The most beautiful sight to ever be seen is a sky full of stars.
