Evening, Wisdom and Beauty!

I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature is company enough for me.  William Hazlitt

You can't be suspicious of a tree, or accuse a bird or a squirrel of subversion or challenge the ideology of a violet.  Hal Borland

The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man.  Author Unknown
