Alone with Nature: Featuring James Peak - Celebrating my Birthday, Solo Camping and Painting

Hey there, Hivers! It's Mooon once again, and I'm here to share another blog with y'all:)

Solo Camping is not new to me; It has been my haven whenever I have felt stressed or burned out.

I wanted to try something new for my birthday, so I decided to spend it alone in nature doing what I loved.

I visited a camping site near us, James Peak. It is a camping farm with a therapeutic view, and it took me half an hour to get there. It's exhausting, especially the hiking and trekking part, but it is worth it.

What to expect?

In James Peak, you can witness the beauty of nature, green sceneries, city lights, Sunset, and 360-degree view.

I arrived around 3 PM, then looked for a good spot, and after that, I set up the tent.

I invested in camping gear and equipment last year for the equipment and tent I bought in Decathlon, and some of these were purchased online.

This is my setup facing the amazing view.

After a few minutes of setting up, I rested for a while and explored the camping farm.

These sceneries are relaxing; I'm so grateful to witness and experience God's creations. I was able to breathe the fresh air from these trees, and the flowers were pleasant.

I saw a hammock near my spot and spent some time with it, and here's my POV.

Before it gets too dark, I prepare food and cook it using my portable cooking set; I cook rice first.

I didn't know what this lol, but for my viand, I have this canned product I just bought it, and it tastes good.

This cat was staring at me, so I shared some food for her to eat.

Now that I have food let me show you what the farm looks like at night.

The city lights at night were so stunning, staring at them with your eyes made you calm.

There's a cottage for those groups of campers good thing that I have my tent cause it's so damn freezing outside.

It's a very cold night; Ramen is perfect for this, so I cooked one.

Now, It's dinner time! 🤤

I do enjoy the food, but I didn't expect the food to be that satisfying, I admit I ate a lot that night. LOL!

I know it's a bad habit, but after a delicious meal, I just lied and made myself warm in my sleeping bag.

Let me show you inside and outside the tent. Sorry, it's messy I'm a guy, after all. HAHA

I can't sleep inside the tent. I don't know why, but I feel so uncomfortable, so I sleep outside, though it's freezing, it is much better than feeling like a roasting chicken inside the tent. HAHA

It's Sleeping time! 😴

I had a good and calm night the fresh air warmed me, and that's why I slept so well.

Chirping birds wake me u,p and I love this feeling! Imagine waking up in the middle of nature. It is so satisfying and feels so infinite.

I prepared hot water for a chocolate drink and just reheated my dinner last night for my breakfast.

It's my Birthday! It is just so fulfilling. Last year, I celebrated it with my friends and family, but now, I want to solemnize it with my own, and I have no regrets.

After breakfast, I prepared my art materials for my painting session.

I always have my art mats with me, and painting is part of my camping experience.

This time, I painted a silhouette portrait of "Princess Mononoke", a character from the Ghibli Studio, created by Hayao Miyazaki. It's kinda easy cause I just need a black color for this to finish.

I poured a lot of water that's why it's kinda messy, so I turned the canvas upside down. HAHA

And there you go. The Final artwork!

The Sun is waving; it is also a sign for me to go home.

I am aging like a fine wine, and this kind of celebration satisfies me a lot. I will do it again for sure
