There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.”
~ Lord Byron
The pathless woods

Thin spiral notebook 
Look at how BLUE that sky is….and those words are so true of you. Your love of nature and the land is so pure and true, I love how you share it with us.

that little verse speaks directly from my soul. Nature, the lonelier the better for me.
Lovely view up through the trees.
Have a very Happy New Year!

There is no where on Earth that I have found more comfort and solitude than on the shore of the sea. With breakers pounding and crashing to shore, and the attendant noise o’erpowering, I have thought my deepest thoughts, felt my keenest emotion, and come to my most profound revelations. I have always felt my kinship with the sea – it is there from whence I came, and there to which, someday, I am bound to return.
