Do Pastoral and Sublime Nature Really Exist?

Personally, I believe that authors such as Mark Twain and Disney's "Bambi" help develop these ideas of pastoral and sublime nature with reality. There are certain areas of nature that show off  more sublime nature and other areas of nature that will display more pastoral nature. Novels and movies containing pastoral and sublime nature have established certain guidelines in defining what exactly pertains to pastoral and sublime nature. In sublime nature we look for cold, chilling words that show a more darker perspective. On the other hand, pastoral nature deals with "the perfect setting" and is a lot more romanticized. I feel that when these natures pertain to reality, pastoral nature intertwines with nostalgia, as sublime nature parallels to the thought of a character or mindset. In the end, I would have to say there isn't really another category I would make and the two types of nature are pretty black and white.
