When a moment in front of me appears to be particularly special, whether it be by beauty or experience, I capture it. I usually find a reason to justify taking that photo - symmetry, or color, or contrast - and it's my hope that my photography sheds light onto what I see and do on a daily basis. Connor Franta

Magic is seeing wonder in nature's every little thing, seeing how wonderful the fireflies are and how magical are the dragonflies. Ama H. Vanniarachchy (at Nature Discovery Center)

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. Rabindranath Tagore (at Washington, Texas)

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive. Eleonora Duse

Newrose, oldrose, Queen Anne’s lace. Water, river, stone, and sun. Wind over hill, under tree. Past the border none can see. Climbing into dark for you Will you wait in stars for me? Ally Condie (at Houston Heights, Texas)

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. Aldous Huxley #numberofn #lineenvy #panacea4panache #panacea4panacheworldwide #church_masters #churchesofinstagram (at Villa DeMatel)

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. Mother Teresa (at Villa DeMatel)
