“Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.”
'Vincent Van Gogh'
I found this quote rather appropriate to accompany this shot I took of my grandson today as one of his favourite pass times is drawing.
De Wereld van Witte de With festival, Netherlands, Rotterdam, 2008.
This photo is part of a big set of this day.
Some of my best shots of this event will be posted in JeromesPOV
(honestly, I'd rather hug my wife than hug a tree)
Giant Redwood Tree at Sequoia National Park, California

Had some cool ideas for a treehugging photo for SOAMG's treehugging group. They didn't quite happen due to yesterday's impromptu snowstorm (frozen toesies, muddy ground, lack of greenery) and today's blustery weather. I ended up liking this one well enough though.
In a desperate attempt to save all the little baby seals from being clubbed, and the bonsai lambs being kidnapped, I hold a flower hostage, threatening to eat it petal by petal until people stop throwing cigarette butts on the floor and breathing on me.
I have always been amazed, stunned & in awe of nature. God's creation is mind-blowing in it's intricacy, the more you look the more you see!
This fascination with nature led me to do a Bachelor of Applied Science in Ecology & Environmental Science, with a major in Cultural Heritage management. It was a pretty good course, though included far more study into statistics than I liked... I loved the practical side of it though!! One day after the kids are grown I might get back into the field... or I might go more professional with my photography... or I might study naturopathy & herbology... or, or... all 3?!

One of those twigs the kids brought home from an Arbor Day celebration at school. It's alive! Planted 3 years ago, the first blooms appear to be forming. I've never seen them in this tiny bud form ( 1/2 inch, or 1.25 cms).
Why not hug a tree today!
Why not pat it on it's bark!
Why not tell it how beautiful it is!
Why not give it a drink!
Then..............
Thank it for it's shade*
Thank it for it's fruit*
Then.............
Take a deep breath and thank it for the air*
