Whitt-Riverbend Park - Giles County, Virginia

“The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us. Thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing. The trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love.” 

 ― John Muir

In The Forest Series - Simply Blue

Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart. She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow it up again fairer and stronger. She calls her family together within her inmost home to prepare them for being scattered abroad upon the face of the earth.

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more."

In The Forest Series - Just Hanging Around

"Let me arise and open the gate, 

to breathe the wild warm air of the heath, 

 And to let in Love, and to let out Hate, 

And anger at living and scorn of Fate, 

To let in Life, and to let out Death."
