The beauty of the trees,
the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass speaks to me.
The summit of the mountain,
the thunder of the sky,
the rhythm of the sea speaks to me.
The strength of the fire,
the taste of the salmon,
the trail of the sun,
and the life that never goes away,
they speak to me
And my heart soars.
~Chief Dan George
It is as though the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows His blessing, even life forevermore. ~Psalm 133:3 ✝

Absolutely gorgeous photos Natalie. They make me want to drink up the beauty of nature! I appreciate the Native Americans and other indigenous groups for their appreciation and attunement to nature.
