Photos for Friday

It was Tuesday yesterday.... oh well, it's Friday now and as usual I am posting some photos. You can, of course, click on them to see them full sized if you like. 

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. " —Henry David Thoreau
 
"It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit."      —Robert Louis Stevenson

"Between every two pines there is a doorway to a new world." —John Muir

"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous. "—Aristotle

'I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars." —Walt Whitman



"Time spent amongst trees is never wasted time." —Katrina Mayer

"Colors are the smiles of nature. "—Leigh Hunt


"Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads. "—Henry David Thoreau

"Leave the road, take the trails." —Pythagoras

  3. Love the pictures as well as the quotes. I agree with each one. I find such peace when I am with God in all of His creation. There is always something beautiful to see when we open our eyes and behold what is right before us. Thank you.
