Doing What It Takes

It is easy to sit up and take notice. What is difficult is getting up and taking action. 

~ Al Batt

I know I've said it before - 
but I really do learn a lot from the animals I observe.   

Not a lazy one in the bunch - 
they always do what it takes!

No Fear

You can’t let fear and indecision sink your creativity— they do not easily release their hold. 

 ― Richie Norton

Squirrels are one of the most fearless animals I have ever watched.

They have no fear in launching off in new directions at a moments notice.

They have no fear in reaching for something that looks completely out of reach.

They have no fear when it comes to taking that Big Jump when their destination is obscure.  

They just do it.

I can learn a lot from squirrels!!

Cherish It

Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children's children.

Taste Her Sweetness

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.

~E.B. White

One of my ALL TIME Favorite books as a child was Charlotte's Web,

by EB White.

I remember getting this book as a child and falling in love with it.

It may have been the book that instilled a LOVE of reading in my soul.

Simplicity in the Grasses

 Photography is my creative outlet... and I try to find a quote or poem that goes

along with what I'm feeling about the shot.

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

~
even the grasses
they make the most
of what they have
we can learn a lot
from nature

Against The Sky

Branches against the sky 

Flying across the sky

Wings in the Sky 

It is a HAWK! 


Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.
