Wha, this post sang to my soul and it's so great to read about love for mother nature by another lover.
Although I have to say that my Supergirl is mother nature.
Up north in our country, when one passes through the bushes care must be taken for one's clothing not to touch the bushes, as the Hyenas pick the human scent up and they follow it.
I'd just keep a few Doggo-Bites in my pocket. When those Hyenas came along I'd throw them a treat, them tell a few jokes and get them laughing. Problem solved.
Hahaha, you are starting to sound like a Saffer mate.
I am the godparent of this bugger and he is my cousin's first born.
