In the meadow, cattle graze,
Wind gently passing, a peaceful daze,
Tall grasses sway, wildflowers bloom,
Nature's symphony, a perfect tune.
The cattle roam, with carefree might,
Their presence felt, in morning light,
A scene of beauty, a pastoral dream,
The meadow, a tranquil stream.
The wind picks up, the grasses dance,
The cattle graze, with a rhythmic prance,
In the meadow, time stands still,
Nature's magic, a soothing thrill.
Oh, meadow, you are a haven of peace,
A place of calm, where worries cease,
May you thrive, for all to see,
A precious gift, for you and me.
Pristine nature refers to natural environments that are in their original, undisturbed state, free from human influence and development. These environments may include untouched forests, unspoiled beaches, clear waterways, and other natural habitats that have not been impacted by human activity.
Pristine nature is important because it supports biodiversity and provides critical ecosystem services, such as clean air, water, and soil. These natural environments also have significant cultural and aesthetic value, providing opportunities for outdoor recreation, tourism, and scientific research.
Unfortunately, pristine nature is becoming increasingly rare due to human activity, including habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. It is important that we take steps to protect and conserve these environments for future generations to enjoy and benefit from. This may involve creating protected areas, reducing our carbon footprint, and supporting sustainable practices that minimize harm to the natural world.

Today's fun fact - Black Swans were presumed not to exist because there was only ever records of white ones. Then when Europeans discovered they did in fact exist, in WA Australia, the phrase "black swan" was coined. The Black Swan by scholar Nassim Taleb, was ranked by the Sunday Times one of the 12 most influential books since World War II. Taleb's black swan theory states that dramatic unexpected events matter more to history than regular happenings.
Bit simpler for me, I just like to photograph them on the local lake. Especially at sunset. Like little floating silhouettes. (bit of an older pic, revisiting some unloved pics from my Flickr exile years)

We canโt see wind, only the things it moves. Likewise, we canโt hear wind unless itโs flowing past something that makes it vibrate; this causes it to adopt various sonic guises depending on what it interacts with. Trees provide some of the most common and admired ways for wind to make itself heard. This sound has been termed psithurism (sith-err-iz-um).
The naturalist author and founding member of the RSPB, W.H. Hudson, suggests in Birds and Man (1901), that psithurism is salubrious. He describes the sound of wind in the trees as โvery restorativeโ โ a mysterious voice which the forest speaks to us, and that to lie or sit thus for an hour at a time listening to the wind is an experience worth going far to seek.
The sonic qualities of psithurism seem to smudge the border between music and noise. The American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) described the sound in โA Day of Sunshineโ:
โI hear the wind among the trees
Playing celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument.
As you walk toward the water,
Sand coats the bottom of your feet.
The smell of the sea salt drawing you closer,.
The view is so beautiful, oh so sweet.
As the waves come crashing in,
Time seems to be standing still.
The sun is shining down on you
As you walk the beach at your will
Big Sur is a rugged and mountainous section of the Central Coast of California between Carmel Highlands and San Simeon, where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. It is frequently praised for its dramatic scenery. Big Sur has been called the "longest and most scenic stretch of undeveloped coastline in the contiguous United States," a sublime "national treasure that demands extraordinary procedures to protect it from development" and "one of the most beautiful coastlines anywhere in the world, an isolated stretch of road, mythic in reputation." The stunning views, redwood forests, hiking, beaches, and other recreational opportunities have made Big Sur a popular destination for about 7 million people who live within a day's drive and visitors from across the world. It is among the top 35 tourist destinations world-wide. The region receives about the same number of visitors as Yosemite National Park, but offers only limited bus service, few restrooms, and a narrow two-lane highway along the coast. North-bound traffic during the peak summer season and holiday weekends is often backed up for about 20 miles (32 km) from Big Sur Village to Carmel.
