I think it's time we realize it's quite an amazing thing to be on this planet and to be the advanced creatures that we are. We could've been sponges or worse!

Nope; it was a pretty picture I found on pixabay!
But I HAVE had the time to put that kind of beauty into my heart.
I lived in the country from the age of 10 to 16... foothills of the Ozark mountains.
(I actually "fell in love with" those mountains before I knew we'd ever move there. when we drove through them when I was younger.)

Let's see... I've answered the "horsey person" question by now.
And yep, I agree - we do have a lot in common, sky!

Skyweir), forrests, plains, rivers, creeks, mangroves, open plains ❤️, beaches - I find it incredibly therapeutic sitting on a beach looking across the ocean in front of me, enjoying the panoramic view from the top of a mountain, I love walking through forrests of all kinds, mostly rain forrest near me now, I love lying down with a mob of kangaroos, there is this awesome beach a drive from here where the wallabies are so tame you can feed them sunflower seeds and they will eat them right out of your hand... man its awesome!!
That is neat that you're around rainforest!
Do you have lories and lorikeets there? (I especially love rainbow lorikeets.)
Had rainforest near me - not-close-to-the-tropics-but-pretty-nice - when I lived in Vancouver, Canada.

lol @ you rp'ing a mountain. :)
You also mentioned mangroves... we don't have a lot of around here - that's pretty cool!

Its incredibly diverse here where I live. We have bush and scrub and rain Forrests on our door step - were situated on top of the escarpment and thus we get a lot more rainfall up here. The beach is just over the escarpment. There are a lot of interesting micro climates which is reflected in the range of biodiversity from one area to another. It really is quite lovely.

That is neat!

(oh, btw, about my comment "we don't have many mangroves around here, I actually meant we don't have ANY.")

I'm glad I am not a sponge....
or gerbil
or tick
beluga whale
last years leaf still attach to a tree
an old tire
yesterday's soup
tornado
soap
or even a sock....

I could list a billion things but somebody has to read this.
And it would have taken weeks to complete.
and I don't type that fast or well.
What's this silver looking ring doing on my finger?

That list was QUALITY... that's a hilarious list...
...especially "an old tire," and then "yesterday's soup," ..."or even a sock...."
:haha:

Thanks, Ur Dead. This cheered me up just now.
