I am reminded of the beauty that surrounds us. The serenity found in nature helps to calm a stressed and restless soul. I need to spend more time enjoying and appreciating the natural wonders of which we are benefactors.
John Muir (1838 – 1914) was a Scottish-American naturalist and author. He was an early advocate of preservation of the wilderness it the United States.

John Muir really did a lot for furthering concern for the environment, and he lived at a time when there was not much emphasis on that.

When I read your posts, I think, how lucky you are to live in a beautiful country with a wonderful climate and the freedom to be able to walk around most times of the year.
I fail to appreciate the beauty in the desert and the sands and your post has inspired me to do just that.
Everything in nature has a beauty to it.
Thank you, Helen !

You are so welcome. When I first moved to New Mexico I really missed the lush green of Wisconsin but I have grown to appreciate the unique beauty here.
