Your favorite gift the Earth brings you.

[nytemare]

Poll question: Your favorite gift the Earth brings you.

Are you a poofy cloud type person, or do you like a colorful sunset? How about a display of heat lighning, or an orange full moon?

What do you like best about the Earth, it's elements, or the sky?

1. Canadian Whisky, " Yea Buddy"

[nytemare]

2. LOL.

That takes a little processing from man.

:)

[TX-RAT]

6. Then i salute the fine people who work for Crown Royal.

Gimli Canada, eastern Manitoba. I fly in there every summer for some of the best fishing in the world.

[nytemare]

9. Do you ice fish?

That seems like it would be fun.

[TX-RAT]

12. Never have, always wanted to.

We fly into Gimli, then drive to Pine Dock. Thats where we catch the float planes going to various lakes. One hell of a trip, even if you don't fish.

[nytemare]

18. Fishing is peaceful.

I fish with my Pop every so often. He is funny about it. He talks to the fish, and lets them know he is going to let them go.

3. I know this is going to come as a shock to y'all

but I have to go with a whitewater stream!

Even better, a whitewater stream combined with pretty much any of the above! :D

[nytemare]

7. Yeah! A stream under a colorful sunset with a full moon visable!

Surrounded by trees with colorful leaves and followed by a meteor shower.

That sounds good.

4. Impossible to choose, they're all beautiful...

...flying dandelion seeds. The forty shades of rust and brown in a dried out patch of sorrel. A cat moving, or a horse. The deep shade and splatches of light in a beech forest. The smell of sunwarmed raspberries, the sound of a brook in the forest; a soft, cooling wind on a hot day. Sparrows chirping.

No, I can't choose. I need them all :)

--------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[nytemare]

10. Sunbeams breaking through clouds are cool, too!

Too much cool stuff to name.

:)

[neweurope]

13. Yes :) All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small :)

The metal sheen on beetles wings, the fur of a mole, baby rabbits, starry nights in the South... there is no end.

We have it good, don't we?

----------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[nytemare]

16. Yep, and we must fight to keep it good!

Ladybugs are neat, too. Oh, and lightning bugs.

[dcfirefighter]

5. Smell of rain

clear fall days

thunderstorms

windless snow

summer nights

the greening of spring

[nytemare]

8. I like this time of year.

I am in the south, so I miss a bit of what it was like when I lived in Maryland.

[MarsThe Cat]

11. marijuana-

because it makes all the items on your list that much more enjoyable.

[Oceansaway]

26. atta boy !!

'home honey i'm high'

[LaraMN]

14. Army worms- they are fun to flick at kids and have green innards.

I do LOVE a good, violent thunderstorm, though.:bounce:

[nytemare]

17. I like thunderstorms too.

The only thing I don't like about them is that sometimes folks get hurt because of them.

[LeftyMom]

15. Sunset over the Pacific

I can't even describe it.

[nytemare]

19. Florida has some nice sunsets.

The best I have seen were actually in Iraq. Such a beautiful country, it is ashamed what is happening there.

I can't say I have seen one over the pacific, though. Have at Tahoe, on vacation once.

[LeftyMom]

20. Tahoe's breathtaking any time of day

at least in the less developed spots. My parents got married up there, but moved down here to Sacramento to look for work before I was born. :(

[XemaSab]

21. Birdies!

And those are just flycatchers!

[nytemare]

22. Great pictures!

I feed birds and squirrels at my office. I think one is a female blue jay, and she attacks the squirrels..lol.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. Aurora borealis.

Really astonishing sometimes. Once I saw the aurora from an airplane (I could see the whole sky, since I was flying the plane) and it was incredible -- an immense green curtain undulating across the sky.

[nytemare]

28. Ooooooooh, how could I forget that!

That is something on my list of things to see before I die.

[redqueen]

24. Other... ALL of it.

I couldn't possibly pick a favorite... the stars at night, the clouds, trees, dust devils on country roads, birds of prey in flight... heck even condensation on a window. I fall in love with it all.

I almost forgot... the sky in the country... you can see storms from miles away... it's fantastic.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. That's a nice reflective poll.

Thank you nytemare. I went with gentle rainshowers...especially when I had a tin roof. :hi:

[nytemare]

29. Thank you, Miss Grumpy!

I was thinking of things to be thankful for. I am no longer a Christian, so I tried to associate it with things we can all find a blessing in. I feel there is great wonder in science, and in the world itself.

I have been reading too much Carl Sagan.

[Taverner]

27. Oxygen

Because if you get too much, you get too high
and if you don't get enough you're gonna die

[WritingIsMyReligion]

30. THE OCEAN.

Hands down, the best. Closely followed by all those other purdy things :D :D

[nytemare]

31. A sunset at the beach is cool!

Or even a waterspout on the horizon. As long as no one is boating nearby!

[bigwillq]

32. The Sun

Lots and Lots of Sun. :bounce:

[DanCa]

33. Sunshine I derive my powers from your yellow sun

not like the red sun planet of my birth.
