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.
Near Thumb Butte! I've been there. Judy, it's always a pleasure to start the day with your photos. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePrescott (Thumb Butte) was the first place outside Phoenix that I was able to visit since I've lived here. The hike up to the Butte was great and the photo ops gave me a chance to stop and catch my breath.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo! 3 different aspects of the country in one. The whole collection is amazing. You have a quick eye and the range of colour - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane. You've hit on two of the things that have always attracted me to photography. I DO see the world in all its infinite colours. And since I cannot draw or paint, I've always used a camera to capture what is pleasing to my eyes.
