The World Is A Masterpiece Framed By Our Views

"Nature is the source of all true knowledge. She has her own logic, her own laws, she has no effect without cause nor invention without necessity." - Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo knew that nature will do what it can to survive. Our part now is to take the words on a painted sign to heart and show unconditional love for the planet by letting go of some harmful human habits.

We've been careless but that doesn't mean we don't care. Does any creature, other than human, gaze at a starry night sky and ponder the mysteries of its place in the cosmos? What other creature mimics and marvels at nature's artwork all around us?

I expected showers would soon fall on the blossoming rose on the patio. Continuing my journey, I saw pearls cling to a web from earlier drops.

With the Amazon forest burning and catastrophic storms swirling, it seemed more moronic than ironic at this critical hour for some leaders to continue to deny that certain human activities play a significant role in enraging Mother Nature.

I brushed past a lush jungle of wildflowers thinking the fragile ozone layer, floating 6 to 10 miles above Earth, was similar to a contact lens gone past its expiration date ... thinning as stealthfully as the grass growing under our feet when no one is looking.

From my perch, it was time to give back and nurture Mother Nature so her masterpieces can go on. What better way to show gratitude for what she's done to provide a livable home for all Earth's creatures?

  4. What amazing and beautiful shots! And the indifference to what is going on with nature and our environment is very very saddening.

  5. Thanks for these moving images of nature's beauty. Given our reckless disregard for all the integrated systems that make nature work, I wonder how many future generations will be on earth to glory in wildflowers. I think we have overplayed our hand and nature has called our bluff.
