About Me
- Nature Photos and Quotes
- The purpose of this blog is to share some of my original nature photographs. Each photo will be enhanced by a spiritual and/or life-affirming quotation. The inspiration for this dates way back to a book published in 1962. It was published by the Sierra Club and entitled "In Wildness Is the Preservation of the World." Selected quotations from Henry David Thoreau were paired with photographs by Eliot Porter. Since then I have taken thousands of photographs myself. Nothing as profound or professional as those by Porter, but meaningful to me and some of my friends and family. My own philosophy of what is worth living and celebrating in life also has a very strong center in inspirational words. I am a librarian, therefore I read. One of the most recent books I reviewed featured characters who would place life-affirming quotations in a jar and pull one out to read when things were looking bleak. Somehow, after all these decades, this idea paired up with that Sierra Club book in my mind, and this blog was born. Enjoy and feel free to comment.
Yay, I have a lilac hibiscus bush (http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Malvaceae/Alyogyne_huegelii.html) blooming like crazy in my garden too. :) This has been a good spring.
