"Nature was made not just for us, but for itself and its own happiness, and is the very smile of the Divine." - John Muir

"So let the dragon's path be opened!... For the Earth is wise and whispers to us in a language of feelings. If you listen to her, she will take us to the stars." - Fredric Lehrman

"The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness." - John Muir


"Forests are full of hidden beauty. Anything can become a subject of serenity, inspiration, love, or motivation. A glimpse of the smallest acorn to the largest tree, even a mushroom hidden deep in the leaves, can stir up a wide range of feelings to any viewer. Spiritual understanding of one's self, healing, love, success, and even a deeper connection to the universe are just a few examples of emotions different people can feel from viewing the same photograph. I have made it my goal to capture these images and share my feelings of gratitude for the earth." - Sarah A. Douthitt



"Some of us are drawn to mountain tops, some to caves, others to forest clearings. For each person there is a place of alignment. Sanctuary has no further purpose. Being there is reason enough." - Fredric Lehrman
