mystery of spring
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and science.
He to whom the emotion is a stranger,
who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe,
is as good as dead —his eyes are closed.
~ Albert Einstein

When I see that first, minuscule, curled, pale green wisp of a sprout
poking up between a couple of grains of vermiculite,
I hear God speaking.
~ June Santon, “Miracle in a Dixie Cup”
forest light
From within or from behind,
a light shines through us upon things,
and makes us aware that we are nothing,
but the light is all.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s all about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…
I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see, and everything to do with the way you see them.
~ Elliott Erwitt
dewy grass
Summer is here!
Time to go barefoot in the grass, soak up the sun,
climb a tree, jump in the lake, and have all sorts of outdoor adventures!
yellow pussy willow
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
“Winter is dead.”
~ A.A. Milne

Don’t be discouraged by small beginnings; remember:
“Mighty oaks from little acorns grow.”

When you come to the end of your rope,
tie a knot and hang on.
