“Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. Whatever the vexations or concerns of their personal lives, their thoughts can find paths that lead to inner contentment and to renewed excitement in living. Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature-the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter…The lasting pleasures of contact with the natural world are not reserved for scientists but are available to anyone who will place himself under the influence of earth, sea and sky and their amazing life” (Rachel Carson The Sense of Wonder 1956).
Join me in discovery of our natural heritage – the myriad plants and animals of this world. I express my love of nature with photographs. Better yet sing it out as exampled by Blue Man Group featuring Venus Hum. Make a difference, take action, don’t wait for others to lead. Have fun in doing so.
