The holidays just seemed to whizz past so quickly and we've now been back at school for 4 weeks. We had the school carnival, the NE show and on Wednesday, we went to the Wallace Education Centre at Dairy Farm...
It was a hot day but I was looking forward to it... It has been a busy term and it gave me a chance to head out with you guys to do something different! It was interesting looking at the different flora in the nature reserve, but what I really enjoyed was going into trail itself... The mud wasn't so fun though!! ;) Yes, I remember the squeals and the hesitation when we encountered the muddy patch... Did you remember the goey, sinking sensation of the mud as you stepped into it? And then the cool, muddy water seeping into your shoe?? ;)
I loved the little red ruffed hummingbird we saw among the flowers in the Lantern Plant.. How often do we get to see birds in their natural environment and feeding?
When you guys were asked to think about what nature means to you... It kinda got me thinking too.. I never really thought about it.. I know that we are losing a lot of primary forest due to industrialization and civilization, about the greenhouse effect, the ozone layer... Deforestation, pollution.. All the negative stuff I guess... The question about what nature means to me made me take a different view of things and I suppose made me think about how I feel about and think about nature..
Nature (Noun) - the natural world as it exists without human beings and civilisation; elements of the natural world such as mountains, trees, rivers or animals.
Is it possible we take nature for granted? I guess I do sometimes, I always assume those mountains, birds, the beach.. Will always be there... Its important to me, I love all the activities I do which involve nature and if I couldn't do them anymore I would be very upset, to say the least. It is the basis for our existence and is all around us.. Let's not take it for granted and look after it well.. So that our children and their children will still be able to experience what we have now...
