Common Tickseed – Mullet Lake Park – January 2016

It seems to me that the earth may be borrowed, but not bought. It may be used, but not owned. But we are tenants and not possessors, lovers, and not masters. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

Green Heron and Fog

Green Heron in the Fog – Merritt Island – January 2016

“We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods
