Things I Hate About Nature (beware, sure to be a long post)

~ I hate it that any time you enter a: zoo, natural park, national park, state park, or any other park that houses and preserves animals you never actually see the animals.
~ Nature has a way of sticking to you. Like in my hair, or to my socks and it itches incredibly.
~ If by some miracle you actually spy an animal, its way too far away to photograph.
~ Since you have no photographs, no one believes you were ever out in nature or that you saw the animal.
~ It's cold.
~ It's hot.
~ It makes me bored and crabby.
The list goes on and on (actually it does, I have it in my journal but don't feel like including the rest here). Nature sucks. Except sometimes.
Sometimes you actually go out in nature and see things. Like these ducks.


Or these mountains.


Or these ducks and these mountains.


Then nature doesn't suck quite so bad. Until it starts raining or something, of course. Then it sucks just as much as ever.

There is one good thing about nature though, and you'll learn about it tomorrow. It's a friend of mine. We'll just leave it at that. Until then, I'll be enjoying the great indoors!

Vanessa,
I would have said they were ducks too! How can you tell from that distance? Just because they fly like geese, Look like geese in their pattern, Honk like geese; who's to say because I forgot my binoculars :) I would have said ducks too.
Love ya, Hal
