Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
~ Albert Einstein
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.
~ Eleonora Duse
Drinking nature is an unquenchable thirst.
~ Berri Clove
Nature is the art of God.
~ Thomas Browne, Religio Medici, 1635
God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.
~ Martin Luther
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
~ Kahlil Gibran
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.... People think pleasing God is all God care about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.
~ Alice Walker, The Color Purple, 1982
As you sit on the hillside, or lie prone under the trees of the forest, or sprawl wet-legged by a mountain stream, the great door, that does not look like a door, opens.
~ Stephen Graham, The Gentle Art of Tramping
The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thanks Kathy! I wish I"d had my real camera with me for the last photo...just snapped it out the window with my cell phone on the way to work yesterday morning. So quality isn't the best, but the sky was absolutely magnificent!

Thanks Candi :) I'm a bit of a photo nut, I have to confess...but I figure if I take enough of them, some are bound to be half decent!

Just wanting to make sure that you realize you are the official photographer for the Gross Morne hiking.
I wish I could capture images the way you do, it is a gift.
