I enjoy walking with an intention because I find my observation skills sharpen and consequently, I detect more in nature. After I encountered the flowers below, I started looking for other animals and plants in pairs. Challenge your family or students to search for something intentionally when you walk together, and they will think of it as a game or contest. As they notice the details of their surroundings, greater engagement and wonder will be byproducts.
