By Terry C. Tessein I have always believed that most people enjoy nature. If you ask, the majority will say that they do like to experience the outdoors and look for a chance to do so, when they can. However, it seems that only a few take enough time to really see what surrounds them.
Many people view nature the way they are being conditioned to read and watch television.
We often seem too busy to really see the small pieces of nature that make up the whole. It is sort of like not seeing the trees for the forest. We walk through woods, knowing trees surround us but often miss the individual nature of each tree, its branches, leaves or tiny twigs. Nature has so much going on in even the smallest of levels. I began thinking about this after having several conversations with my son about his recent camping trip to Maine.
