Is it just something we can look at and enjoy in our spare time? What if nature, say in the shape of a mosquito, or disease, or a lion, comes out and bites us? And what about all the flowers in our garden, aren't they natural? And all the food crops and animals that we eat, aren't they part of nature too? Perhaps we aren't quite as separate from nature as we think. In fact, surely we are just as natural as trees and animals? So what is this idea of 'man v. nature' then? This is the website where all such ideas get an airing.--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British seem unemotional \u2026 except for their passion for nature Articles Talks Books Reviews Groups Wildlife Quotations Blog<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1211","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.obsessedbynature.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.obsessedbynature.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.obsessedbynature.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.obsessedbynature.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.obsessedbynature.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1211"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.obsessedbynature.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1211\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8465,"href":"https:\/\/www.obsessedbynature.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1211\/revisions\/8465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.obsessedbynature.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.obsessedbynature.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.obsessedbynature.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
