and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.

The feeling of Sunday is the same everywhere, heavy, melancholy, standing still.

In the wind

Animals give me more pleasure through the viewfinder of a camera than they ever did in the crosshairs of a gunsight.

~Jimmy Stewart

he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing.

~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
