Descriptive Essay: My Ideal Place to Live
10/15/14
As the years pass, I plan on how I want my future to be; I think about what kind of job I would have, if I would have a family of my own, but most importantly my ideal place to live. My ideal place to live unbelievably would be in the woods with nature. Most people would think I am crazy and might not even believe it but I love the nature. I first realized that the woods would be my ideal place to live when I went camping for the first time at Mashamoquet Brook State Park. The scenes, peacefulness, and things to do there made me fall in love with nature.
When I am in the woods, I can see all the tall and big, some skinny trees looking down at me from above. I enjoy all the beautiful shades of green from the darkest to the lightest covering the tops of those trees. I like that when I look up I can see the birds looking down and if I am lucky; I get to hear them sing. I love the types of trails that when I stay still and look around everything seems too look the same a few rocks along the way, leaves and twigs covering the place and if I am not careful, I can lose my way. The night is the most gorgeous place because I get to see the stars and the clear moon shine bright.
In the woods, the wind hits the leaves and some nights even the wolves howl. Living out there gives me privacy. In the morning, I get to wake up to the sound of the birds chirping and the touch of the cool morning breeze. It is strange but I like the smell of the moist ground after it rains and the firewood-burning going through my nose. In the woods, I can go bird watching and discover what kinds of beautiful animals exist in my area. I enjoy hiking; of course, with water I learned my lesson once. Going out to look for firewood to stay warm at night and making s’mores is my favorite thing to do. Just by watching that big white fluffy marshmallow melt on the stick while holding the graham cookies

    I could not decide where I would go to, until I thought of the woods. I go to the woods to escape and gather myself back together. Going to the woods to get your mind off things is one of the best places to go to. It is always welcoming and quiet and offers many new sights and opportunities. Also, when you may feel scattered everywhere and you feel that you just need to regroup, the woods are always a free and opening place to go. Due to the fact that they make you feel like everything is grouped back together due to all of the chaos the woods have to offer with the winding plants and scurrying little creatures. The woods will always be my safe place and the place I go to regroup and pull myself back…

    The living room, or family room, is generally considered the main gathering area in most homes due to the television being located there. However, this is not the case in the more than one hundred year old, light grey, two story home in which I live. The main attraction of this particular living room is the comforting atmosphere and warm fires that take place in the wood-burning fireplace.…

    Most of which still take up all my free time. Being located in the mountains I can just walk out of my backdoor and begin a hike. Prior to the cabin I couldn't figure out why people would just hike and walk for no reason. It took one little hike to change my entire thought process. On my very first one I saw deer, elk, squirrels and countless beautiful birds. I saw a creek surrounded by luscious flowers of all colors and thorny berry bushes. Falling in love with the outdoors, my brother and I took it a step further and decided to try out camping. Starting in the back yard sleeping near the house with wifi, we slowly transitioned into hiking miles away with our entire camp on our backs. You can say we got addicted to camping fairly quickly. Recently we began fishing, my absolute favorite activity to date. It only takes a quick hour long drive along one of northern Arizona’s beautiful highways to get to our fishing hole. Surrounded by huge boulders and and the flowing verde river, we found the perfect spot to fish and take in the immaculate…

    Is there a place that you go to just to think or feel relaxed? Everyone has a place like that and the Delaware River is that place for me. When I first moved to Pennsylvania seven years ago, I loved that I was going to live near a river. I had never lived so close to any body of water before. After about one year of living in Easton, Pennsylvania, my mom and I had decided to have a picnic every year alongside the Delaware River. We would sit on the grass with the sun warming our faces and just watch the water in the river flow until it fell down the waterfall. The Delaware River provides a place for me to think and it’s also a great place to go if you want to relax.…

    With the life I’ve lived, it’s quite difficult to choose a singular primal landscape. I’ve lived on the white sand beaches of the former Gold Coast; in the hospitable heart of the Lone Star State; in the open minded Golden State; and currently, in Alberta. All of these places have given me a place to call home but in particular, I would say that I am most connected with San Leandro, California.…

    If I could pick one place to live for the rest of my life and be totally content, I would pick the countryside just outside of London. I have never visited a more peaceful place. The scenery is beautiful and although it rains quite often, even the rain has a different type of beauty. While visiting London, I stayed in a small house with an older man and woman. I was at the park meeting some of the locals when a rain shower came out of nowhere. It was the most beautiful rain I had ever seen. As I looked out over the hills, and into the grassy fields, the rain pouring, I remember just standing there in awe of how beautiful rain could actually be, and how I knew that I could be completely at ease with making this place my home.…

Some of my friends like to go canoeing and some enjoy swimming in lakes, I find that my favorite outdoor sports are rock climbing, fly fishing and deer hunting. From the sweet smell of maple sap to all the little chirps, whistles and squeaks, I find myself completely relaxed when I am outside.

    “When you smoke herb, it reveals yourself to you,” is a famous quote of the pothead and marvelous musician Bob Marley. He felt as though marijuana helped tune in with your inner being. I believe cannabis that cannabis does this too and therefore have become a habitual marijuana consumer. Being in tune with ones inner being is important, yet not the reason that I smoke cannabis. The cannabis plant is beautiful, from the leaf to the buds you smoke. I love the ‘highs’ from smoking marijuana, and last but not least, I love how I can function while ‘high’. The summary is that little nuggets of joy have been crucial in making me who I am now, and I am grateful for everything marijuana has brought.…

    Photography is like any other art where the sky is the limit. The most important component to photography is the camera. I have a Nikon D3000 SLR digital camera. It is like one of my children. I go everywhere with it and when I don’t have I always feel like something is missing. It helps me bring my creative side to life and gives me just the shot I am looking for. It is heavy and sometimes a pain to carry but the weight is worth it for the end results. It has endless settings that I can adjust to achieve what it is I am trying to create. When I look through the view finder I look at a whole new world.…
