PixQuote:
"Wandering through the world as I do, I often forget to watch my feet. When I stop to watch them, I often find camouflaged, wondrous things. Insects, lizards, butterflies, ants, flowers....it makes me walk a little more carefully and slowly now."
-Lorelle VanFossen

Wandering through the whiteness...... I found a leaf ...... I was excited....... am I crazy?
