Nature Photography - #NatureMoves

Mental Health Ireland tell us you don't have to climb mountains, venture far from home or even leave the house at all to feel the benefits of being in nature.  They are asking us to share a nature photo on social media showing how you are enjoying nature during Covid restrictions and beyond  using the hashtag #NatureMoves

It can be of your favourite spot in your garden, your daily stroll around your neighbourhood or countryside, or a sunset that swept you off your feet.  Here are some of the beautiful photographs  sent in by trainees and staff during the Covid restrictions. 
For more information on mental health go to https://www.mentalhealthireland.ie/ or follow on social media @MentalHealthIrl
