March 20 - Joy of Spring

JOY OF SPRING

A Spring morning

A warm breeze

Doves cooing softly

Pollen dusted trees

A few brave violets

A red streaked dawn...

Smell of dogwood blossoms

Easter eggs and bonnets

Chocolate rabbits

Spring showers

Spring mornings

Warm breezes

Deep breaths

Smell of fresh blossoms

Sound of birds as they sing

Joy of life.. joy of being

Joy of Spring

By David Whalen

March 7 - Wilderness Act

The Wilderness Act of 1964 is well known for its poetic definition of wilderness:

“A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.”

"In the wildness is the preservation of the world."

~ Henry David Thoreau
