KEEP CLOSE TO NATURE'S HEART..

We arrived home today.

 I've been promising pictures.

They can't do justice to what we've seen,

and felt.

"Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile,

and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.

Wash your spirit clean."

~ John Muir

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

 Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,

 while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."

~John Muir

"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."

~John Muir

"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread,

places to play in and pray in where nature may

heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul."

~John Muir

These beautiful places have certainly given strength to my soul.

What a wonderful world.
