Hello, my name is Cameron Howard, I am 20 years old and a student at Auburn University at Montgomery. I am an Exercise Science major and a nature lover. I wasn't always a nature lover until recently. I am in the Marine Corps Reserve as a machine gunner or billet 0331. All the time we spent outside made me into a nature lover, it was either learn to love nature or be scared of everything that moves. I learned to love nature by not only noticing the animals that most people would think of, but I also learned how to love the energy of nature. When I say the energy of nature I mean the parts of nature that you can not physically see, such as the wind blowing through the trees, or the warm, tingly heat of the sun. I have recently started to meditate out in nature and learn to start to become one with her. One of my favorite spots to meditate is right where I live in Montgomery, Alabama, which is Alabama Shakespeare Festival. There are plenty of hills, grass, water, trees, and shade along with open space so you can go there an not feel bothered by anyone. Shakespeare is also one of my favorite places to work out at too. I do Mixed Martial Arts at a gym that backs up to ASF, so you can say over the last few years I have become well acquainted with the park and it's surroundings. The purpose of this website as a writer is to help me appreciate the different aspects of nature, culture, and food that I have never noticed before, and I hope that you, the reader, will have a wonderful experience joining me on this adventure. Maybe before this is all over, if you, the reader, can start to see things from my perspective and with an open mind, then my job is done. If not, then, well I hope it was entertaining to you or thought provoking. Over the months of the fall semester I will constantly be updating this website, at least once a week. If you have any other thoughts, ideas, or concepts about nature and anything else I right about, do not hesitate to contact me. I can not wait to start our journey together! Good Vibes.
