How close do you feel towards nature? I live in a rural area, so I am surrounded by nature.

Is it a big part of your life due to your job or favourite recreation? No, it is just my choice to live away from the cities, although I do have a strong cosmopolitan streak which makes me take off to visit far off places occasionally.

Or are you afraid of the wilderness, avoiding it altogether? There is danger out there. I am not"afraid', but I am cautious. Of course there are risks, from wildlife or from natural accidents: forest fires, falling branches/trees, allergies, insects etc. So taking precautions is the only way.

What spots in the outdoors do you like the best? Mountains, lakes, forests, rivers, prairies, oceans, deserts and so on. Which ones do you least like? I like forests best, and prairies least.

Have you got a favourite season or type of weather? definitely love autumn the best, and I love thunderstorms.

Are you blessed with a back yard or garden?My mother has a large cultured garden, but I prefer wild flowers and other flora.

 Ever watch nature TV shows? sometimes - less often now that I have no tv, but used to watch often.
