Free Treasures in Nature: What Can You Find Without Paying a Dime?

[turbo]

I think most oppertunities for free stuff are closed up in the UK. like one has to have a license to fish every where but the coast, one has to have a license and permision from a farmer to shoot any thing, even water that falls from the sky onto our land is taxed, ie a row of 20 garages has one drain and a part of the rent is for that drain.

We have to buy hunting and fishing licenses, too, but with the price of fresh fish and meat, that $40 combo license pays for itself pretty quickly.

Between my property and those of neighbors that cooperate and share access for hunting, etc, we have got probably 100 acres for hunting, foraging, berry-picking, etc. There is a large wooded tract across the road from my house, and it's loaded with blackberries, but I left those alone last summer because a mother with two young children picked berries to sell at a local market. I've got plenty of blackberries on my own property, anyway.

Sunshine is free, including sunrise and sunset, the song of a nightingale is free too. No fee on the smell of fresh hay or the fragance of thyme. the Stork show feeding their little chicks high on their poles, completely free as well as long legged buzzards displaying their orange tail when flying away into the wild blue younder. Butterflies won't charge anything for visiting your flowers. Noticed the thousands of diamonds on your lawn, early on a cold morning? you guessed it, all free, no charge. Be quick to collect them though. it evaporates quickly.

Also free is the pot of gold under the end of the rainbow. Didn't find it? Who cares, the rainbow itself is much more precious and free of charges, not even VAT.

Andre, i am sure if you re arranged those words you could make some poem.
