Close Encounters with Nature

Nick Hall

Have you had a close encounter with nature? An unexpected swim with dolphins in the ocean? A too-close-for-comfort experience with a powerful tornado? A run-in with a hidden snake? Share you story with us in the comments section below!

Whether thrilling, scary or just plain unexpected, these are the moments that remind us of the true wonders of the natural world and the importance of protecting it.

Do you have a photo or video of your close encounter experience? Share your photos with us on Flickr™ (all you need to do is add your photos to the Nature Conservancy group and tag them Thrill-TNC). Or share your YouTube link in the comments below. We'll be looking for some of the best stories to share with our readers on our blog, Conservancy Talk.

Thanks for sharing your story!
