Hello everyone, I have found that many people who go for a hike to enjoy
nature often don't look down or around and miss the flora of the area. Of
course the hikers are going way to fast to see anything. 'Stop and smell the
flowers' would apply here. Same way with the animals that they could see on
their hike,, they miss them because they are going just too fast.
