Sunday Thoughts on Wellbeing, Photography and Nature Connection 

I'm taken by the thought that you've designed your life so you can live close to nature in the way that you wish. Good for you!

You’re in the groove. The groove is your genius and sharing it is inspirational and transcendent. Thank you.

a wonderful thank you you have helped me by just hearing your talk opens up my own mind as it been a hard week many thanks Kim Neill

Absolutely love your videos Kim your such an inspiration, May God bless you and guide you to give us more food for thought and inspiration to get out there. 👍

Thank you, Kim.

Thank you Kim for this so thoughtful and thought provoking, I have struggled with my mental health for many years and your approach to life and photography are really helping me. Thank you so much. Nature is the most wonderful

Kim, in this vlog it shows your transformation from a photographer to a prophet. Your understanding and appreciation of nature is becoming deeper and yes you have that awareness that others seek and sometimes can never find. Do not feel silly but joyful that you speak to the trees as many people do and find comfort and a powerful presence being amongst them. For when we are in the midst of trees, the leaves sing their song to the wind and the branches dance across the sky. The trees are telling their stories if we choose to listen. See you out there!

I'm chilled and full of Vitamin D just watching this. Off out with my camera now. Cheers

Lovely Kim I feel as though you and being out with nature has give me a big hug. thank you.

Thank you Kim, just needed that. Tx

Fantastic video, thank you 🙏

.Hello . I am always chasing lights with my camera , and learning about our human society ....Nature makes it possible for me to reinvent this only power oriented modern world....I escape these lethal forces with nature and telling visual stories .......Your dedication and channel deserve the best of succes ..

I can't believe how much of my life has been spent looking down. Down to my desk where I'm working, down to my feet to keep from tripping, down to my problems as if searching for answers required me to count the cracks in the sidewalk. Only when I became a birder 7 years ago did I learn to look up. Where did all these birds come from, I asked myself. The tops of the trees are full of them! And the multitude of stars at night, were they there all along when I was busy counting cracks? My present focus in life is learning about photography. My arms are sore with the weak muscles I am using to lift my camera lens towards the sky, often holding still for many minutes to catch that perfect flight shot off a branch that captures the beautiful wing detail of the bird. And to get a really great flight shot, I've learned it's so important to catch the Light. To become intimately connected with what angles, time of day, and weather that are needed to give me the best representation of the lovely bird I am photographing. Light is Life. It's what makes images come alive and shine forth the very essence and soul of the bird. It's easy to get bogged down with life and its struggles. I get it. But photography is teaching me that Light is everything. And in order to see this Light, one must learn to look up. It's the only way to see the beauty that is freely and generously given to each one of us.

This video couldn't have come at a better time Kim, it felt like a hug in itself. It's been a transformative year for me being part of the Community ❤

Community is so important and that is what I appreciate with your channel. Respect and support for others as one. I love the sounds of the birds in this video. I could close my eyes and focus just on the birds communicating. ❤ I am also missing a human connection which is very difficult for me to deal with. I feel very connected to your channel and community. The emotional side of photography is something that needs more attention. I thank you so much for this video. It really will help me get through some of the struggles in my life ❤

A wonderful Sunday treat. Nature is such a gift ❤

A thought-provoking video that helped with my current mental health issues. Thanks Kim.

Thank you so much for this ❤x

Nature heals...amen Kim

Such a heart felt video, your whole being was surrounded by love. Powerful talk and lovely to listen too. Your such an open person, nature has blossomed you. Keep shinning your light.

Such a refreshing beautiful video, thank you for sharing.

Profound and much needed for me to hear this today. Thank you Kim.

Kim, you are so true. NATURE IS INCREDIBLE!!!I have realized that my spending a few hours just outside with my camera weekly is the best. That day or afternoon resets me in such a positive way. Weither it's doing my nature, macro, abstracts or even my new venture of street photography. It's so positive for me.your so right!!!

Light, greenness, a little bit of a breeze, birdsong. It's good just to immerse oneself in it.

Your soliloquy beginning at 3:58 > connected my heart, mind and soul in harmony. What a feeling! Thank you for sharing your deepest thoughts.

I'm nodding again Kim! Not nodding off! 😂😂Nodding in agreement with everything you said.

Wishing you Blessing, love and peace Kim . You are a kind and beautiful inspiring young woman and I appreciate all your insights.

Thanks Kim for a beautiful video, nature certainly does help in all aspects of life. After all we are nature ourselves! So we are reconnecting with the essence of who and what we are. Have a great week Kim!

Super encouraging video Kim 🤝

What a wonderful video. So well spoken and from the heart. Present, and mindful. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you kim

I enjoy your videos. You inspired me to photograph what’s around me. I’m 58 years old I purchased my first canon EOS 1500 D dslr I’m loving it. Thanks Kim.

A beautiful Sunday thought Kim, like yourself I often take myself out into nature to feel connected in the absence of human connection, I also liked the sound of the birds and the image looking up to the trees is similar to what I was doing recently 🙏

Many warm and heart-felt thanks to you for this video. 💕

I listened to this just following the latest episode of Photographic Connections, and I had another 15 minutes of drive to work. I allowed the silence and drove quietly along, simmering in the peace that I had enjoyed. It is winter here in the Southern United States, and it has been raining for the last 3 days. The colors are so very saturated. The browns, the greens, the burgundy, and the bright copper of the American beach trees all shining. The little red buds give a gentle glow on the oaks, showing that spring is not far away. I thank you for your work, and I pray peace over you.

Thank you, yesterday walk around our village just took photos of the spring flowers just after the rain............ felt better in myself doing this

I like being alone in nature too tbh. Especially during sunrise! ^^

👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you

Beautiful Kim. Tis lovely just to be.

Thank you…….

Indigenous communities have literally thousands of years connected to their natural environment. In Australia they have 60 thousand plus years of continuous connection with the land. We are now only really understanding what they have known. Without a healthy natural environment and connection to it then we are much poorer.

Thank you, Kim.
