Nature -- Deer and Butterfly

I do like the outdoors and nature. I dont like the naive view. I like the real thing. Sometimes it can be scary and sometimes it hurts. I still like nature. I like wilderness.

People passing on the left or right just as if everyone was walking through a airport terminal. Crazy.
