Of nature





"Reading about nature







is fine,








but if a person








walks in the woods







and listens carefully,






he can learn more






than what is in books,







for they speak





with the voice of God."





George Washington Carver





I hear you God





♥ lori

These photos are for you Mom, Happy Birthday tomorrow,
I love you very much.

    What a spectacular gift - to you- to us and to your mom. Nature really does have everything we need, doesn't she? Thanks for the peaceful interlude Lori. I'm only a little jealous.

    Beautiful. And so incredibly true. There is so much we learn just by listening to the world and being present with nature.

    I love it :)

    So beautiful, Lori. That little "necklace" in the bottom picture could be a birthday gift for your mother. :-)

    And I expect that your mum just thinks you're one of the two best daughters she's got!
    A beautiful post, but it made me sad for my own mum. But's ok she lives in my heart.

    Josephine was over the other day and we hung up a witch and a skeleton and some bats and she was thrilled which made me thrilled.

    Love the grandchildren.

    Have a good weekend grandma.

    I really shouldn't be on line right now, but your photos are so beautiful and I just had to tell you.

    I love the George Washington Carver quote. My husband's grandfather worked with Dr. Carver at Tuskegee. And my boy's grandfather sat on Dr. Carvers lap as a little boy while he worked. Where did you find the quote? I haven't seen it before.

    Happy Birthday Lori's Mom!

    Thank you everyone for all the lovely words, I am so happy you all enjoyed this spectacular sunset evening with me! And thank you for the birthday wishes for my Mum, she had a wonderful day wine tasting! (thanks to my sister). I had to work :(

    Geri, the quote can be found here :

    where is my comment? sometimes i don't keep pace with blogger's rhythm and i what i think is there isn't.

    so this is where you live. oh. lori. it is just beautiful. here we are on opposite ends of the country, each with our own ocean, each so aware and grateful for beauty like this. (not to imply of course that our hearts don't turn and tumble sometimes).

    happy birthday to your mom. i hope she had a wonderful day.

    love love

    Not only do you hear God, you actually and actively LISTEN. And that's why you're so damn good.

    You are.

    Thanks for the beautiful images. Wow.

    ...and the blessings we miss if we walk with our head down, focusing on our feet, instead of looking for the stars.

    Happy Birthday to your Mom. What a priceless treasure you have given her Lori.
