Blog #9
Recently I just went fishing on my friend's aunt's property. It was tucked back on a farm surrounded by a bunch of woods. This experience reminded me of the Aesthetics of Engagement. I was able to enjoy fishing much more when I was experiencing it without thinking of what was around me or the fish and pond with a scientific background. Immersing myself in the nature and enjoying it was a big part of my admiration for it and the beauty that came along with it.
