Poetic Shutterbug

Photos taken at Lloyd Lake in Golden Gate Park Everybody needs beauty as well as bread... where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. John Muir I wholeheartedly believe in this quote by John Muir.  I have found that I need to get out in nature every single day.  Lloyd Lake which is depicted in the photos is one of my favorite places to escape.  It provides the tranquil setting I need to rejuvenate.  I think we all have that one special place that fuels our spirit. My two questions this week are: 1. What or where is it that fuels your spirit? 2. Do you get out in nature on a regular basis? Click the above widget for more Thursday Two Questions Meme fun.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. - John Muir Photos taken at the Botanical Gardens in San Francisco.
