Nature's Stream

Come sit with me beside nature's stream, no need for words, we can simply dream. Nature has given us a place, in which to reflect, only asking in return for our respect.

Nature's Roots

The Tree

Wooden Oddity Or Odd Tree?

I find this tree to be a wooden oddity of sorts, considering as you can see from the photograph, that there are two trunks firmly grown into the ground, with one trunk growing into the side of the other tree, creating a natural arch.

The Wonder Of Trees

The wonder of trees. Their beauty and strength. The shade they provide. Growing tall and strong. A life force of nature. Always giving more than they take. Forever under appreciated.

The Tree

Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being.
And I say the sacred hoop of my people was one of the many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy...

The Squirrel's Silhouette

While hiking the other day I came across this little squirrel who was trying to appear inconspicuous to me.  I managed to capture this silhouette photograph of it, before it scampered away.

Natures Wonders

I am fortunate in that I can step outside my door and have a natural playground of wonders at my disposal to explore. No concrete sidewalks, no hustle and bustle of traffic. Just the serene surroundings of green earth, trees, and the bubbling sounds of sparkling water and the wildlife that inhabits this beautiful place. I never want to be so caught up in the complications of the world that I forget to take the time to enjoy the simple things. The wonders of nature, that which is priceless. We are blessed every day with beauty all around us. It saddens me to know that some of these beautiful natural resources are already being taken for granted, and may in time not exist for future generations to enjoy.
