“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple life.” 
— John Burroughs

pieces

“We’re always leaving little pieces of ourselves as we move on the pathways of life. And even as we age, evolve, wear out and disappear into the dust, the pieces sometimes remain.”

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you all and your families. I hope Santa treated everyone well ;).

What an interesting idea! I love it! taking photos of people and animals from years ago and making it come alive again years later in the exact same spot. Brilliant!
