William ShakespeareI believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

A sensitive plant in a garden grew,

And the young winds fed it with silver dew,

And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,

and closed them beneath the kisses of night.

I'll tell you how the sun rose a ribbon at a time.

Any man that walks the mead

In bud, or blade, or bloom, may find

A meaning suited to his mind.

Alfred Tennyson

How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and morning dew!

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the sky

an infinitude of hope,

a canvas of glory

all possibilities mine.

I took all these photos on a family walk through the woods. It was a clear fall day and I was feeling inspired by the small pieces of beauty that nature offers.

I can't wait to capture more fall images!
