Brooke, I have to agree with you, that nature in the city is just as wonderful as nature in the great outdoors - in its own way. Especially to those who cannot leave the city environment because of work. For them, it provides much relief and is a necessary part of city life because man has an inherent need to be around nature, even if it is only provided in small amounts. All the same, it is a good idea to get away from the city when given the chance because nature out of the city is so vast and amazing.
