This year so far has been great, I think I've spent about 90% of my free-time outside. Whether it's biking, hiking, camping, rock-climbing or gardening/foraging you can usually find me outside... somewhere. This past month I have spent 3 of my 4 weekends camping and it has been excellent. When it comes to nature and the outdoors I feel the more you respect nature, the more nature will respect you.
I love nature and have a huge respect for it, but unfortunately not everybody feels the same way. This last weekend I went camping and as I arrived at my previously chosen, relatively secluded spot, what I saw disgusted me. The area was literally covered with trash, broken glass bottles and the vegetation was broken and uprooted as if somebody had driven through it with some sort of vehicle to get to this spot. I don't understand how people can be so disrespectful to their surroundings and all this beauty we have around us. I spent a lot of my time there picking up the garbage and cleaning up the area. I remembered why I started this blog, to help people appreciate, understand and respect the great outdoors and the wonderful plant and animal life that we share with planet with. So I'm really going to try harder with this blog to help educate others about nature and hopefully help others gain that sense of respect towards nature that I feel.
*These pictures have nothing to do with my camping trips, I just thought they were nice. Enjoy*
Yay for a Jimmy post! I've been waiting for you to post on the blog again. You were doing so well for so long and then nothing. But I'm glad you finally wrote something and posted some beautiful pictures! :)
