Keep Close to Nature

Keep Close to Nature's Heart
“Keep close to Nature’s heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”
—John Muir
Just before leaving on a camping trip in the summer, it was all I could think about. I just wanted to be among the redwoods. John Muir felt the same way when he fought to found the national parks in California. With this one, I envisioned what Muir may have seen while standing in the woods writing his book.
I posted the left Muir quote with several trees. A friend saw it and had to have a similar one for her best friend’s birthday. We decided to keep it simple with just one tree. I absolutely adore how this one turned out. It just draws you eyes up to the top canopy of the redwood tree.
