❤ What lovely parent’s you have! Well done momma and papa 👏👏👏! Lovely memories. ❤

I was raised on the grounds of the oldest military academy in the US, a place called The Nazareth Hall Military Academy. It was first founded in the 1750s by the Moravian Church as part of a religious “commune”, by a group of Christian Zealots who came to PA. seeking religious freedom. 🇺🇸. By the Revolutionary War it had been turned into a military academy (against the will of the town’s Church Fathers). But by then a farm had already been built on site to grow food for everybody, including a Very Large Orchard with all kinds of fruit and nut trees. They had also built a Magnificent 2 story Hand-Hewn Stone Farm House on site which provided housing for whoever was managing the farm at the time as well as several barns and other outbuildings here and there around the property. But by the early 1900s the military academy had closed and the entire site was redeveloped into housing, mostly for senior members of our town. However because my grandfather had been the contractor to do most of the renovation work on the property (and because small towns operate like this) our family was offered The Farm House to rent (for $90/mo.). Naturally my Dad said yes to this offer. In addition to the “truck farm” the Moravians had built in the 1700s what was called the Pleasure Gardens adjacent to the “Academy”, an approximately 200 acre parcel of woods on the side of a sloping hill with a spring that flowed into a little stream in its midst. The Church Fathers had built a trail along the stream and had also placed benches and a gazebo at particularly attractive spots along the way, turning the place into a sort of Park. It was truly an Idyllic Location. This was where I was raised. We were the only kids (my sister and me) living in the center of the only remaining portion of the original settlement in our area, in a 2 story stone farm house in the middle of a 250 yr. old orchard. With 5 different varieties of apple trees, 2 different pear trees, at least 3 different varieties of cherries, 2 Large grape arbors, plus 2 big beautiful, still-bearing English Walnuts, a Huge Mulberry tree, a Horse Chestnut tree that still produced, 4-5 very large sprawling European Beech trees, 2 huge Dutch Elms (which alas, went the way of every other Dutch Elm on the E Coast not long thereafter), and several Hickory and Linden trees, a few different Oaks, Eastern Rock Maple, Red Maple, and other softwood species like Locust and Gum, as well as other ornamental shrubs like Yew and Juniper plus a virtual forest of Large Adult Boxwood Trees (I still have yet to see another example of Boxwoods like those (Still in 2023) growing in Nazareth. And I forgot the conifers; pine, fir, spruce and hemlock. I suppose being raised in this Virtual Paradise as I was is partly what caused me to, later in life, resonate with these recorded sounds of Nature. I don’t, as it seems like most people do, listen to these Ambient Environmental Musical Loops to help me get to sleep; I don’t have a problem with getting to sleep. I listen to this stuff because, living in the City, I miss my former life in the Country, in the Woods. I used to just drive out to some remote spot and just Wander off into the trackless wilderness or along a small creek, etc. and when I had finally tired of this would find a nice spot and sit down AND JUST LISTEN 🐰

I know right! It’s so beautiful. I made my own page just like this one

❤ If you’re ever near the south coast of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 pop by for a cuppa ☕️ and a trip to the beach 🏝️, no bucket 🪣 throwing required! ❤

@@Budury thank you for correct 😉🤭

tancereczka1000 Me too!!!

I do too... Let's get a place there together? All I need is a room for rainy days, otherwise I'll always be outside xD

@@LilGamingYes haha yh absolutely! People who live at such places are blessed :(

So relaxed watching this and wishing I was on that beach

❤ I feel so sad for you… 😢 I moved away from the sea for 2 years, and I couldn’t bare it any longer and moved back. I might not visit the sea everyday but I know she is there, I can hear her, see the sea-fog rolling in, hear the seagull’s, smell the salt in the air. I think the sea is in my vein’s, I couldn’t live without her, even at night I play these sounds so that I can be as close to her as possible. Maybe I was a sea urchin in another life!? 😂😂😂 Sleep well, and I hope you make it back to the ocean soon 🤞🤞🤞! ❤

@@Cara.Mia. Thank you. I'm glad you were able to go back. I believe I might follow your lead in a year or so

@@sharonlawley4222 ❤️ Always follow your heart ♥️! Please 🙏, before it’s too late! Godspeed my friend 🙏 ❤️

Yes!

World travel vibe

The real colors of nature are the most pleasant to our eyes.

I've been to this island. The color looks like that in real life as well.

@@naturaleza-viva But you are using a filter. Is that a particular type of polarizing filter?

Yup!

important lesson learned: no matter how great, there will always be haters. sad.

Tout à fait.

басистый-голосистый :)))))

Qué gusto que no hay música. Sólo el sonido de las olas. Qué maravilla.

Чудесное стихотворение, повезло же вашей любимой

Sir, I have. a question, the wave is maddy colour but the water is blue color, why?i also the water should be maddy. colour,.

@@desertmoon2158 The waves are lighter than the surrounding water because the light has less water to travel through. The water surrounding the waves is deep. The waves are thin in comparison. It looks like this in real life-I've been there.

Wow for real, where is that?

@@staraligned read the description..

@@twinsonic oh lol yup thanks

Yes it is!

I wish I could go there

Cool

Yes it does!

Lol, I feel ya fam! We are all loners in everyone's books

@14

Believe it or not, here in Michigan of all places there is an oasis just like this called Torch Lake. Its like a little tropical paradise right here in the Midwest.
