sad but true: i used to hate spending time in nature. nothing about it really appealed to me. even the beautiful views didn't really strike me as extraordinary. i preferred photos of the view or words describing it.
now: i've grown more and more drawn to nature. i love the freshness, the feeling of new and natural and growing and raw. i have several plants in my room now and i love them so much. i wish i had a car so i could drive myself to beautiful, remote places and just center.
i think: i'm going to be a crazy plant lady when i get older. i'm okay with it.
so, for you: some of my photos of flora + favorite nature quotes.
nature is a haunted house--but art--is a house that tries to be haunted.

the poetry of the earth is never dead.

“is the spring coming?" he said. "what is it like?"...
"it is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...”

the mountains are calling and i must go.

everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
