Quote:
"To such an extent does nature delight and abound in variety that among her trees
there is not one plant to be found which is exactly like another; and not only among the plants, but among the boughs, the leaves and the fruits, you will not find one which is exactly similar to another."
~ Leonardo da Vinci

ReplyDeleteAlana, fog requests everyone to look again because it has that haunting, blurry quality. Whereas, Leonardo da Vinci we look at his journals again and again to learn and see what we didn't learn or seen before.
DeleteImpressive !

Fog rolls into an area and presents us with delicate photographs. What a gift!
