” Green was the silence, wet was the light” What imagery and joy and peace. Love this. Thank you for bringing the light.
What amazing photos and I love the quotations. My favorite one is the one by Martin Luther King, followed by the one by Teller. The first is something to have as a motto for everyday life, the other a great reminder that there is no reason to fear the unknown.
