Here is a small group of deer I watched all summer and fall from my balcony.After a recent construction project started right next to my apartment complex I have not seen them.

Purity is rarely found in nature. Nature is mostly a mixture and a balance. Ash & "Mother" admired the Alien´s purity, it´s amorality..
Maybe a perversion of the natural world. Judgements made from an
artificial place, removed from empirical experience. Don´t most of us
live such lives? Although in some climates (SE Asia, the Amazon) people must spend their lives running from nature and isolating themselves from it because nature there is decidedly NOT a nice or friendly place. Quite hostile to human life. Also life on certain small islands.. beautiful but barren and harsh.
Europe and temperate climates are veritable Gardens of Eden compared to most climates and ecosystems. Mostly devoid of human predators.. wolves, bears, snakes, insects, large predators... although great whites are caught from time to time in the Adriatic.
I guess those places where humans are part of the food chain too are a little more scary than places where they are not.

I like nature, I remember how I used to play in the woods, by the river..Today, I live in the city..and I miss those days..Everything is so fast, people are just staring at their phones, they don´t really talk, playgrounds are empty..children are staring at computers.. We forgot that we are part of nature..not apart of it.
When I look into the eyes of an animal I see a friend, I see unconditional love,hope..and for a moment I forget to worry..

I remember how I used to play in the woods, by the river..Today, And the ambient sounds.. no traffic, no human noise. Just close your eyes and listen. That is a wonderful experience too. Birds, winds, leaves, water..

Exactly! I had my first phone at 17, today you can see how kids ( 3,4 old) already know everything about internet, it is sad.
Now I see how lucky I was as a kid..

maybe not strictly nature, but out in nature,finding old ruins, abandoned buildings, or even better old bunkers
from a war or other concrete structures.. a playgound for a childs imagination.
I used to imagine I was an archaeologist or explorer and I had discovered the ruins of a new civilization.
Or on another day, imagine I was living in another time or another planet in a different society in these places.
Great places for a child´s mind to wander. I wonder where children´s minds are while they are playing with ipads or phones.. indoors..
Toys of my childhood: Bicycle, backpack, knife, string, rope, bow & arrow, air rifle, wooden matches, (very little money..), small radio, flashlight, books, maps, fishing pole, machete, surfboard..
Toys of children today: ipad, iphone. fidgit spinner, drugs to control ADD, anti-depressants..

No doubt same places provide an easier time for humans.Yet people have lived for thousands of years in the arctic and most Amazonian tribe members say the forest provides all they need.
Or it did until logging , mining and fossil fuel extraction poisoned the forest and rivers.
Nature supports life but doesn’t make it easy.
I am not saying we should all go back and live off the land.
Certainly better resource management is called for.
When the forests of Central and South American are mostly cut down, and it’s heading that way, our climate will change dramatically.
Research how these giant forest create climate. Plus a large percentage of Earth’s oxygen.
The whole man versus nature thing is a human, and very Western conceit.
Nature provides but does its thing and isn’t specifically focused on human comfort and ease.
The destruction of nature in my area is only about money. It is not about quality of life.
Not one person of the hundreds I have spoken with wants this development.
It is forced on us by politicians who have been sneaky in passing new zoning laws and the building is done by mostly 3 developers who don’t live here.
I will bet my soul that the politicians are being well rewarded!
Purity in nature is mostly inorganic material. Like gold or carbon in diamond form.
They are Elements. The Periodic Table represents purity in nature.

Lovely picture!No question we are a part of nature.
I love animals but I know what a hungry lion or an angry elephant will do to me.
I certainly would avoid those encounters!
I also don’t anthropomorphize or romanticize animals or nature.
My cat Tuesday is a cat. She is designed to be an efficient predator. Many mice have discovered how efficient.

I’m always glad to be one of the last analog generations.Until last March I didn’t have a mobile phone of any kind.
Practicalities of modern life forced me to get one.
I could easily give it up. The internet is a great library and communication tool.
It is not a replacement for face to face communication.
I would also miss digital recording. I would prefer to use a 2inch analog 24 track recorder but it is expensive and difficult.
Now for a few thousand and a powerful computer I can make recordings as good as anyone.( or I try to!)

The whole man versus nature thing is a human, and very Western conceit.And I suppose "running from nature" such places coincides with running towards a "western" living standard, along with western standards of cleanliness, hygiene, medicine and housing.
> will bet my soul that the politicians are being well rewarded!
Politicians like the property taxes houses bring, and building construction is the pork project extrordinaire, employing as long a logistics chain of different types of people as waging a medium size war in a small middleastern country.. polticians like the jobs and economic stimulus it brings, and cities like the taxes. Unfortunately, the way it is done in the USA and most Anglophone countries, a huge bust always follows the boom, just like with war. But politicians are like children, addicted to this candy, so development is done rapidly, rapaciously, and profitably, for a while... no one ever thinks ahead to the "bust" afterward.. just like with war. But it is an old model that goes back to Roman Britan, so unlikely to change much because it works, however imperfectly. Pockets get lined with money..

Yes! I was always so happy to have some woods and a stream nearby my childhood homes.It does spark imagination!
It still does in me.

As I thought on Nature today and humans relationship to it, I thought how Nature has no abstraction.Humans and perhaps higher primates on a rudimentary level ,have the talent or perhaps curse of abstraction.
Art of all types is a positive of this . Symbols are a mixed bag.
Symbols can evoke powerful emotions but are often mistaken for something real.
The word cat is not a cat. A $100 dollar bill has no real value. It’s value is a mutual abstraction.
Nature is all real.
The internet may be the ultimate abstraction thus far.
