I love bridges. If I see a cool looking bridge, I want to cross it, especially if it goes somewhere that I’m not familiar with. Same with stairs outdoors. They feel like an adventure to me.
Seeing the moon and stargazing in general. Oh and everytime I see a picture come back from the Perseverance Rover. I just look at them in absolute wonder and still find it unbelievable that we have clear pictures coming back from Mars. Every new picture is like Xmas for me.
Everything in Space is awesome
Nothing has been more heartbreaking in life than sharing my love of space with someone I care about, taking them out with the telescope and stargazing and meteor showers… Only to be met with “yeah, that’s cool.”
… My soul-crushing disappointment is immeasurable, and my year is ruined.
My children are old enough for Lego now.
I’m more excited for their Lego christmas gifts then they will be!
Stone paths. I was hiking in a large state park recently and came on a stretch of path that a seriously skilled stonemason built. It was beautiful. I stood there for ten minutes looking at how perfectly they matched the stones together.
My neighbors have a turkey. Every time I walk through the kitchen I look out the window to see if she’s in our yard. If so, I run out to pet her.
Also, if I’m working outside she trots over to see what’s going on and, of course, I have to stop to pet her for 15 minutes.
She just walks up to me and sits down expecting pets.
That sounds fantastic.
I don’t know why it’s so fun, but my day gets better every time I get to pet a turkey.
Let’s see if this uploads… It’s a picture of her after 10 minutes of pets
Edit: may look creepy, but she seems to be so comfortable that she’ll close her eyes and just chill. But I’m no turkey scientist. I imagine if she didn’t like it then she wouldn’t run up to me.
That is not creepy at all! What a beautiful animal. Thanks for posting. Brightened my morning :)
Zoo’s and aquariums, fucking love animals.
I like exploring old buildings like churches and hotels. I feel like architecture has been optimized so much to fire codes that most modern buildings have pretty boring layouts. But older buildings are completely batshit in their designs sometimes. Like woah there’s a second little staircase down here that goes to a single room not accessible by anywhere else, or just random little hallways to nowhere. Also secret little closets everywhere, it’s way more fun.
Trees! Those big, old giants which make you feel like they are indeed harboring some ancient wisdom, being there, in the same spot years before you, barely brushed by the passing of time. And then if they are evergreen not even season affects them - they just keep on existing, all tall and gracious. How awesome is that.
