Where I live its a grassy valley with a lot of farms (well around town) but there are forests ringing my community on several sides.  Rainfall is about 35-50 inches a year and we usually get about 1 snowfall a year.

Quite urban really. There's a bridge nearby and some fields. Oh. It's quite hilly too.  :)

There is a lot of forests and giant size insects and the earth shakes when the giant lizards walk by

You live in Jurrassic Park?  ;D

my town is surrounded by thousands of square kilometres of pine trees, muskeg, lakes, rivers, bears, moose, beavers and mosquitoes so big, brave men quiver and woman faint.

Take away the giant lizards and I have described Georgia, minus the swamps  ;D

It tends to stay where we put it, doesn't make any noise and doesn't eat much -- it pretty much just lays there.  We think it might be dead, but we're still working up the nerve to poke it with a stick to find out for sure.  




Actually, I make it sound WAYYYY more exciting than it is.  I think I described it best in one of my parodies: "stunning lack of natural features stretches on and on."

Lol.  ;D

Well I live in the Cleveland, Ohio area and it's an urban area and houses are pretty close together, but it's not overly packed like some areas. Climate is cold and snowy in the Winter, cool in the spring up until late May or so, then it gets pretty warm, warm to hot summers, cooler fall. No mountains around here, little hills a bit south of our house, lots of trees too.

I live in Southern CA. More desert than anything!

And don't forget that River that actually catches on fire.... ;)

Edited to say: I just checked your profile - you're too young to remember that. Probably too young also to know that Parma used to be the Pink Flamingo and Cheese Whiz capitol of the known world....  :)

I don't remember it first hand of course, it happened sometime in the late '70s I believe, but I've heard all about it, lol. I never heard about the parma thing though.

Depends on which home (I have basically 2 right now)

COLLEGE home: Just north of OKC but it's pretty nice- everything a city needs minus the skank.  The weather's ok but it's still too dam windy.  I don't mind cold so much if it wasn't for the wind.  We get plenty of rain and thunderstorms as well.

*HOME* home: sucks a**....Out in the country it's so boring.  It's only an hour away from where I go to school but its a lot hotter and more humid....just plain nasty.  Plus the nearest CITY (not town) is so depressing- no Target, no Starbucks, no PetSmart, only one shopping mall, construction everywhere, etc.

nice spot where i live, lots of trees beautiful rivers (where you get away from where the mill is)-
cold in the winter - too hot in the summer, we have no medium here lol

spring is my favorite time of the year,

I live in western Pennsylvania.....so, lots of trees, hills, mountains....I live in a little town out in the country...but the good thing is that I am about 5 minutes away from the "city"...where there is everything from numerous Walmarts to every kind of restaurant you can imagine....also, I live about 40 minutes from Pittsburgh, Pa...so that's cool too!

I live in an area that used to be sugarcane fields.  And not far from here I can also see the pineapple fields.  As for flora we have lots of different types of palm trees and flowering trees.  For animals we have mongooses which I periodically see scurrying across the roads.  :D

Forgot to mention:  I'm about a 10-minute drive from the ocean.

Same as jiminy, but no giant lizards. :)  I have swamps though, they call them marshes here. ::)  SWAMP
Oh, I forgot frogs and weeds up the ying yang.  The only nice thing we have is the beach, it's beautiful.

I live in a market town (about 60,000 residents). I live on one edge of it so it is only about 5 minutes walk into the countryside.  It would only take me about half an hour to walk across the town and into the countryside on the other side.  The nearest city is about 9 miles away and there are two others slightly further away.

The area I live in has some hills nearby, but nothing mountainous, and quite a lot of woodland.  It's part of the old hunting forest of Charnwood and near to the new National Forest.

This is my town centre on market day. 

edited to add Except it's clearly not a market day despite the name of the photo.  Damn, should have looked at the photo first!

It's frozen right now but in the summer it's rolling hills, lots of green farm fields, red dirt and ocean views.

I am about 5 miles from the beach.  Here are some pics.  This is a aerial view my husband took from the plane.  The water is a very light blue green in the mornings.

Here's a late afternoon pic.

Typical New England small town. Looking out my window, I see the villiage green (that looks very white right now.  ;)) Leaving the main part of town are a bunch of farms. On days when the wind is just right, you notice them.  :P Off in the distance (well not too far-a few miles maybe) are mountains. This is a pic of our "downtown" area. Big metropolis, huh?

What about the roosters?  When hubby & I were on Kauai, they were EVERYWHERE!!! ;D

Oh, Kauai is known for roosters!!  ;D 

I, however, am on Oahu...and as this is a new residential area, the community association won't allow people to keep roosters (although a couple of families on my street have tried and been caught)...

A view from below....elevation 6,035 ft.

And from above...elevation 14,110 ft.

umm....why would anyone WANT roosters if they weren't on a farm ???


A lot of the Asians like them...not sure whether just to keep as pets or to eat... ???

I basically live in a quiet neighborhood with lot of trees and grassy areas.
