@Zaghoul That's a beautiful kitty! I love how majestic they look when they're sitting there taking it all in. Looks like she's contemplating world domination or something...
This wonderful dog took off into the water all on it’s own. He pulled the drowning baby deer to the safety of the shore. The baby is doing very well now.
Edit: Thanks for the heads-up @mlnevese. I think that's the last time I use that old photobucket account. I guess I'll move on to imgur like everyone else.
It's in the mountains in mid/north Sweden, fairly close to the border to Norway, in a county called "Jämtland". My GF is from this county and we bought a cabin there this summer and spent 4 weeks straight there during our vacation. We've renovated a lot and did loads of maintenance, but the mountains are actually just a short stroll out from the door! We're literally up on a mountain top 2 hours hike from our doorstep. It's just a slice of heaven, I'm tellin ya.
The older (and wiser? I'm gaining EXP at least, hehe) I get the more I realize I have to take care of this planet, for my own sake but most importantly, for the next generations to come. So that they too can go out into nature and experience what I do.

At 1st glance I thought you were holding a longsword there. My old eyes failed to see that it was a road stretching off into the distance...
@Skatan: The video creator has a thing about drawing bouncing pigeons and other furry animals. This particular one is composed of references to Undertale. So it's a video about a fat pigeon bouncing around a gigantic subterranean cavern making friends with everybody...
...a motherly goat monster, a timid frog, a narcissistic skeleton, a blind guard dog, a friendly ghost, a pastry chef spider, a swole hippocampus, a high-octane fish woman, a nerdy lizard scientist, a sexy fashion robot, another goat monster, and finally the world's evilest flower...
...and therefore showing off its pacifism skills. Hence the goat monster saying "Please don't hurt people" and then "Not bad!" when the pigeon bounces next to the frog monster instead of attacking it. And then smiling proudly into the wind when her pigeon protege gives a thumbs up to a flower.
I just noticed this thread. What soothes my soul? Quite a few things, but today I'll mention music. More specifically, Baroque Music, with the beautiful sound of the Harpsichord.
People have a tendency to prefer Classical Music, which I love too. But the harpsichord has a kind of magical sound that the piano can never really achieve.
So many people on this forum actually. I'm not gonna name any names, simply because there are just so many of you. This is a wonderful community, and just talking to the majority of people here is downright THERAPUTIC.
What soothes my soul... right off the bat, I wish I knew, I really do. At times I think an Imprisonment spell was cast on me and I'm trapped in small container within my own mind. I was recently asked by my psychological team what I was grateful for. I told them to be honest, nothing at the moment.
They have a way of asking me questions though that let me see I do have a few things that sooth me somewhat. I recently got on board with this team that comes to my house now. I decided that was somewhat soothing as well in a way, as I don't have to drive down the mountain into relatively (for me) heavy traffic that my exaggerated sense of hypervigilance gets me into panic mode. I was able to give a few answers which I thought trivial and did not count but as I thought on them I decided maybe they were right. I suppose weightlifting does at times at it wears me down to the point where the spiders stop trying 'rewire' and play havoc with the neural pathways in there. I guess playin BG would be the other. I know it is a small thing but there it is. It almost felt embarrassing to mention that to them but did anyway. I think perhaps it is because it stimulates my imagination, one of the few things I still am able to draw upon dealing with PTSD.
Now that the leaves have fallen I can also sit and watch the sunset behind the next mountain over from my driveway. At least for a time it seems to push other thoughts away. Lately I have been a leaf on the wind, but, at least sometimes the leaf lands on a little branch and I can see out that window that I can peer out from the confines of my mind.
Little things or not, I've decided no matter how trivial they may seem, I'll take what I can get, when I can get it.

Mom: "Those happen during the day?"
Me: (laughing) "Eclipses always happen during the day!"
Mom: "...I didn't know that."
Mom: "Oh, right, because of the sun!"
Looks more like a sport to them:S
I would keep them away from rats, not worth the risk of infection to your cat.

It's so adorable.

Makes perfect sense!

I have found many of the pictures that you have posted to be “soul soothing”
Sometimes I think about how I can live my life, and one day I won't be able to experience the sweeter things of life.
