Nature is the armory of genius.
Cities serve it poorly, books and
colleges at second hand; the eye
craves the spectacle of the
horizon; of mountain, ocean, river
and plain, the clouds and stars;
actual contact with the elements,
sympathy with the seasons as they
rise and roll. ~ A. B. Alcott
BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.
If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
Gorgeous...all of it.
