I liked to go out there to lay down on the grass, listen to the wind, kiss the flowers and watch the leaves moving. The memories and joy I experience when I am there will always have a special place in my heart. This place is far, far-away in time and space, part of my childhood and my

There are three species of Land Iguanas: Conolophus, Subcristatus, and Conolophus Pallidus. Land Iguanas are yellow and orange underneath and red and brown on top. They are mostly found in deserts or the Galopagos Islands, under cactuses. Their habitat is really dry.
Country in the tile connotes the serenity and peaceful beauty found in it that soothes the viewer. In this poem, the physical journey – a drive in the country, is a catalyst for reflection first on the calmness and sureness of the natural world, and then, dramatically, on death and hopelessness. The poem probably reflects Skrzynecki’s experience of living and working in northern NSW and he appears to be unhappy in this environment. The poet takes a trip to the country and this trip denotes a physical journey as an escape from the reality of life. This physical journey in the country acts as a temporary escape from reality.
From my back yard I can see the green light that is end of your dock. Every night I sit out staring at the little green light dreaming of the wonderful day when we reunite. Daisy I simply do not have the words to tell you how much I have missed you. I have missed you even more than a dry season misses the rain!
He strikes me as a solider himself. Maybe it was his strong physique. He approached the monument and stood there for quite a while. I will always wonder if maybe he knew someone here at this memorial. Sitting at the site on the stone made bench positioned off to the side of the memorial reminds me of sitting in the park appreciating the nice weather and not to mention there are few visitors passing by.

We are the earth, and our dream is the sun; it warms our skin, it shines through our dusty windows, it lets us see beauty that gleams in its golden rays. But unfortunately, many of us don’t have the courage to step outside the dark house with the dusty windows, and live the dream we only see in our surreal minds. Some of us let the dream fade into a small light in the back of our minds. Humans are so conformed
The Burns Bog is located in Delta, British Columbia. I had chosen Burns Bog because it represents to me a perfect training ground and is the perfect place for a great cardio fitness workout. It has trails that are connected to a variety of other obstacles such as hills and stairs which allow you to get an amazing workout. The dirt trails are soft making sure impact on the feet isn’t too hard as compared to the road, the trees surrounding the trails provide shade and cool the temperature so running in the afternoons on hot days is bearable. Even in rain, the trees act as barriers making the trails usually less muddy to run in.
To begin, the Garden of Eden, being one of God's most rudimentary creations, can be compared to Simon's peaceful and quiet sanctuary that he often finds himself escaping to because of its luxurious and comforting ambiance. In the novel, when Simon wandered off on his lonesome “he came to a place where more sunshine fell...the creepers had woven a great mat...a bowl of heat and light” (58). Much like the Bible's Garden of Eden, Simon's private place depicts a vibe that ululates with peaceful exuberance and an atmosphere that a sensitive person like him craves the most in times of burden. Next, an element of spiritual sanctification adds to the allusion of the Garden of Eden. In the beginning of the novel, Ralph's looks at the island in a joyful manner and he decides to take a swim in the lagoon with his new and rather plump companion (7).
Some may find that they're peaceful and in harmony with nature by just stepping out into their backyard. Although each one of these places are all different, they all have one thing in common -- they are the places of nature that help people to be brought to their better self. Personally, because of where I’ve been raised and the things I love to do in life, the ocean is my own sanctuary of nature's beauty. As a child, nature had always been a large part of my life. Many kids my age spent the majority of their childhood watching movies like the Lion King, which as a 17-year-old, I have still yet to see the beloved childhood movie.Instead, I spent my time out on the water, surfing, wake boarding, swimming, and baking up the sun.
