I'm a fan of all members of the Alcidae, so Puffins surely fit in

That is SO awesome! I'd love to go to a place like that someday.

Well, if you're in the UK (Wales), SkΓΆmer is the place to go

Awesome!!! I actually live right smack in the center of the US. The only thing we have running around in nature is squirrels and chipmunks. And the occasional cat.

I'm a Belgian, so it's closer to me (actually still some 700miles away) but it was on an ecology stage for biology students
And the US is on my bucket list for Maine, Washington and Oregon, Idaho and Yosemite/Yellowstone parks !

I've never actually been to those places. I have been to Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Florida. All beautiful places, especially since I live in plain old Iowa. Arizona was my favorite because of the mountains! So gorgeous!

Yeah, I had to chose on my list and I'm more into northern territories (visited Sweden last year, can't get it out of my mind anymore). But Arizona and Illinois are pretty cool too. Iowa would be nice to drive through I think ?

Yeah. It is quite boring living here though. I look outside and all I see is flat, flat, flat. There's like, no cool landscape, you know? Just fields. It can be pretty, but it can also get boring after a while.

I'm living in one of the most populated regions of Europe (Flanders), so I'd be happy seeing vast fields instead of houses everywhere with patches of nature between them ...

Yeah, but when you live somewhere your whole life, no matter where, I can understand someone wanting to get out and see something new, right?

Indeed, I can imagine, got the same here

We've got a river on the border, and a few wooded areas. In my neighborhood we have a creek and a little forest, yeah. And it can be really pretty, I just uploaded a few photos from the other day. The thing with that creek is that it's man-made. It's still lovely, though.

Almost everything here is man-made except for one forest here nearby (and still heavily, though ecologically managed) and a small piece of a natural river valley that is allowed to flood when needed. But we come a long way to try to "re-wild" our piece of land ... Sometimes nature needs us to recreate her systems
But of course, try to get out sometime to get a new view; I did it last year : something completely different and it got me hooked !

Yeah! Yesterday I decided that instead of going around the creek, I'd go through it. It was quite the adventure!

I saw the pictures, nice adventure ! Did the same in Southern France once along a rocky creek. The evening before we'd found a scorpion in another tunnel... luckily in that one there weren't any ... It's stuff like that that makes you glad about how you spent your day
