In an essay entitles "El Dorado", R. L. Stevenson describes how man journeys through life towards a goal he never fully attains, yet finds satisfaction in the journeying. He is like a traveler who, searching for some golden city of the west, some El Dorado, trudges up the slope of some mountain range, believing that just beyond the crest he will find his goal; but when at last he breasts the summit, it is only to find another range beyond, beckoning him on to new conquests. Happiness is to be found in the sense of achieving. As Stevenson expressed it:\n\n\n"To travel hopefully is better than to arrive, and the true success is to labour."

Emerson used guano as a metaphor for thinking about trans-national labor, slavery and race.  \nIn "Slavery in Massachusetts," Thoreau uses Nature as a scale of judgment on how to live. Nature rules supreme for Henry David Thoreau. It is the highest point from which we can seek to change society. Thoreau uses the purity and harmony of nature as both a metaphor and a model for our actions.

I still believe that most of must wants to preserve the nature, however it is the conflict of interest that is preventing us from doing so,  because of the development and modernization of our world some natural habbitat are being destroyed. We focus more on modernization thus conservation of nature is being taken for granted.

In Islam, the beauty of nature comes from the beauty of the creator, and the beauty of our minds that get us to taste that beauty of nature. It's one of human being's tasks on earth to preserve nature, keep it pure and protected, use it well without harming other creatures, and eventually they were created for hosting our kind and giving us comfort as it should be. The most beautiful thing about the nature is that its perfectly balanced, and we should really learn how to keep that balance, so keep its eternal beauty. our prophet Muhammad once said to one of his friends : " Allah ( god ) is beautiful, and so he likes beauty " - may god send greetings upon him.

Daffodils by Wordsworth is about Daffodils but has a lot of allusions to landscape.  I floated on high or Vales and Hills when all at once I saw a host of golden daffodiles.  Beside the lake beneath the trees fluttering dancing in the breeze......

The Flower That Lives Above The Clouds\nLONG ago, long ago when the flowers first woke to life on this dear earth, each chose where it would live as it chose, too, the color of its petals.\n"I will cover the ground and make the bare soil gay with green blades," cried the grass.\n"I will live in the fields and by roadsides," laughed the daisy.\n"I, too," echoed the buttercup, the cornflower, the poppy, and the clover.\n"Give me the ponds and the lakes," the water lily called.\n"And let us have the streams and the marshes," begged the irises, cowslips, and Jacks-in-the-pulpit.\n"We love the shaded, ferny woodland spots," lisped the shy forget-me-nots and wood-violets.\n"And we wish to be petted in gardens," declared the rose, the pansies, the sweet williams, the hollyhocks.\n"I love the warm dry sun — I will go to the sandy desert," said the cactus. So all places except the bare ridges of high mountains were chosen. To these, no flower wished to go.\n"There is not enough food there!" the daisy explained.\n"There is not enough warmth! There is not enough food!" all decided. " It is so bare and chilly! Let the gray moss go and cover the rocks," they said.\nBut the moss was loath to go.\n"When one cannot live without moisture, warmth, nourishment — when one must have petting or live in a garden, surely the bleak places of the mountains must do without flowers! How foolish it would be to try to make the ragged, bare mountain-tops lovely! Let the gray moss go — he has not yet chosen!"\nSo the gray moss went up the high mountains because he was told to go. He climbed over the bare rocks beyond the places where forests ceased to grow. All was desolate and silent up there.\nUp higher and higher crept the gray moss. It went even above the clouds where the ragged rocks were covered with ice and snow.\nThere it stopped short in amazement, for it found a quiet star-shaped flower clinging to the crags and blossoming! It was white like the snow around it, and its heart was of soft yellow. So cold was it up there that the little flower had cased its leaves in soft wool to keep warm and living in the bleakness.\n"Oh!" cried the gray moss, stopping short. "How came you here where there was no warmth, no moisture, no nourishment? It is high above the forests, high above the clouds! I came because I was sent. Who are you?"\nThen the little starry flower nodded in the chill wind. "I am the edelweiss," it said. "I came here quietly because there was need of me, that some blossom might brighten these solitudes."\n"And didn't they tell you to come?"\n"No," said the little flower. "It was because the mountains needed me. There are no flowers up here but me."\nThe edelweiss is closer to the stars than the daisy, the buttercup, the iris, or the rose. Those who have courage, like it, have found it high above the clouds, where it grows ever gladly. They call it Noble White — that is its name, edelweiss! Love, like the edelweiss, knows not self-sacrifice.\n\n\nAnd\nOn a crisp spring morning a young Bavarian couple set out on a hike through the mountains with grand alpine peaks piercing the blue skies of southern Germany. A few hours into their hike, they have walked through meadows full of blooming yellow, blue and purple wildflowers. However, they have not come across the one flower they want to find- the Edelweiss. Just beyond, the young man spots the white flower with felt like petals on an exposed cliff. In order to pick the Edelweiss, he ignores his own safety to prove his bravery. Reaching out on loose rock, he finally has the flower, the “ultimate love charm” of the Alps. With the simple gesture of giving the young woman the Edelwiess, the young man is once and for all able to express his lasting love.\nFor generations this flower has been the insp

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources maintains the largest conservation and environmental stewardship education program in the commonwealth. Through a variety of educational and informational programs from one corner of the commonwealth to the other, DCNR staff annually educate hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and visitors to Pennsylvania's state parks and forests.\n\nConservation and environmental stewardship extends beyond our public lands. It starts with every citizen of any age. Conservation and Environmental stewardship extends to cities and towns because plants and animals seek out space to grow and live in areas right in the middle of houses, stores, offices and other busy places just as they seek habitat in our beautiful wild areas.\n\nDelaware Canal State Park\nNatural AreasPennsylvania state park natural areas are of unique scenic, geological or ecological value. These areas are maintained in a natural condition by allowing physical and biological processes to operate, usually without human intervention. Natural areas are set aside to provide locations for scientific observation of natural systems, to protect examples of typical and unique plant and animal communities and to protect outstanding examples of natural interest and beauty.\n\nDelaware Canal State Park has two designated state park natural areas – Nockamixon Cliffs and River Islands. These areas contain threatened or endangered species and are unique natural environments. Visitors are welcome to explore these areas, but are asked to abide by the old saying, “take only pictures, leave only footprints.” Camping within natural area, including the river islands, is prohibited.\n\nRiver IslandsEleven state park river islands are now protected natural areas within a river corridor that is experiencing dramatic economic growth. The islands provide critical habitat for migratory waterfowl and songbirds, contain sites of archaeological importance, and enhance recreational opportunities for fishermen and canoeists.\n\nSome river islands, such as Hendrick Island, were originally park of the main shoreline, but most islands grew individually from the river itself. Silt and stone left by glacial waters almost 10,000 years ago form the substrate of these islands. Seeds were eventually deposited by wind, water or wildlife. As plants grow on the islands, the roots bind the substrate materials together. Although they are relatively stable, the size, shape and location of the islands shift slightly with the movement of the river water.\n\nNockamixon CliffsTopography, geology, and scenic beauty combine to create the unique character of the Nockamixon Cliffs Natural Area. These sheer cliffs tower 300 feet above the Delaware River and dominate the landscape. Because the cliffs face the north, they receive little direct sunlight. This cool habitat supports an alpine-arctic plant community unusual this far south. Almost directly across the Delaware River, an opposite set of circumstances occurs, creating habitat for unusually arid plants.\n\nNockamixon Cliffs originated geologically from reddish sands and mud carried by torrential streams from the northwest. Massive amounts of these sediments were deposited into temporary shallow lakes. The resulting red sandstone and shale can still be found throughout the region. They are bright red and break easily into flakes and fragments.\n\nToward the end of the Triassic Period, molten magma from deep with the earth’s crust flowed into these beds of sedimentary rock. The “igneous intrusions” heated the surrounding sandstone and shale, changing them into tough, weather-resistant rock called hornfel.\n\nDuring the Jurassic Period, the region was subjected to continuous erosion. While some other rock, such as the sandstone and shale were worn away, the hornfel resisted weathering, allowing the Nockamixon Cliffs to “rise” above the surround landscape.

Nature and nuture are both important factors to who and what you become.  Your surroundings(nature) are important aspect because it is the thing you see everyday, its the place that you will consider the norm. Nuture is also important because its where you develop some of your characteristics, for some its where you begin to show your personaility, traits, strengths, and weakness.  Some people also argue that its the enviroment that truely affects and shapes you, because some people lacked the nuturing factor in life or vice versa.  For everyone its different but in most cases people will agree there is to some degree a mix of both nature and nuture.

I feel that if it wasn't for our current comfortable living conditions, we would be a nice meal for some other species. In some places, we still are.\n\nNature isn't the pretty picture Disney likes to paint. Animals kill other animals and we are no different. Go watch "The trials of life" narrated by David Attenborough. Perhaps some of you will gain a new perspective about how nature really functions.
