Earth..

 

 

 

 

“Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.”
― John Lubbock

Let it snow!!

"Once we discover how to appreciate the timeless values in our daily experiences,

we can enjoy the best things in life."

Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere

and the circumference nowhere. - Blaise Pascal

Live ...

 

 

 

 

...  in the sunshine, swim in the river, drink the wild air.

 

Trail

 

 

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
― R.W.E.

 

Fog

I give thanks for the rainbows, for the butterflies,
for all creatures - large and small,
for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain,
for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh, for the touch of a hand
and the whispered "I love you."
- J.L.H.

Streams

only when the last river has been polluted, and the last tree been cut down, and the last fish been caught, will we realise we cannot eat money.

 

 

Persistence

In the confrontation between the
stream and the rock, The stream
always wins – Not through strength,
but through persistence.

(Buddha )

 

Earth

 

 

‘Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children.’

Ancient Indian Proverb

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moments

FOR some MOMENTS

in LIFE,

THERE are NO WORDS!

 

 

Home sweet Home

 

Where is home?

Home is where the heart can laugh without shyness.

Home is where the heart's tears can dry at their own pace.

(Vernon G. Baker)

Home is where friendships are formed and families are grown;
where joy is shared and true love is known;
where memories are made and seeds of life are sown.
This is the place . . . that people call HOME.

 

Landscape

"Ever charming, ever new,
when will the landscape tire the view??"

- John Dyer

The difference

The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.
Henry Van Dyke

Watching...

Vale Glaciar do Zêzere - Manteigas - Serra da Estrela

... clouds roll by
on a sunny day

Listenning to the water stream

going down the mountain

Smelling the fresh green grass
Who needs church?
Nature is divine.

Spring...

...  is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush. :)
