Glimpses of a Magical Island
This month I decided to offer you something a little different - I want to share my world in pictures, accompanied by a few quotes that these images inspired. I am so grateful to live on this magical island, and to be able to be in and with Mother Nature every day!
And yes, do I take pictures as I am out in nature - because somehow taking photos provides me with a longer pause to appreciate this ever-changing precious landscape!
'One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?'
― Rachel Carson
'How
Did the rose
Ever open its heart
And give to this world
All its
Beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light
Against its Being.
Otherwise,
We all remain
Too
Frightened'
