I want to get a camera but I can't find anything to photograhp?

I'm interested in getting a nikon camera, I have enough money for one but I haven't bought one yet, for the past week I've borrowed my friends camera to get a feel for one and decide wheather or not to get one.

The first day I got the camera I probably took 150+ pictures. Now that I've had the camera for a week I've been taking less and less pictures. I haven't lost interest it's just there is nothing to take pictures of.
When I do get a good picture I get happy and I show it to my family.

My questions are:

Should I go ahead and buy the camera even though there isn't massive ammounts to photograhp? (I walk in the country side and thought woods etc)

When you started off as an amateur did any of you have the same attitude I'm having?
