If a Man Walk in the Woods . . .
If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
--- Henry David Thoreau (Life Without Principle)

Beautiful photo Joni, and one of my favorite quotes from HD Thoreau!
"They paved paradise. And put up a parking lot."
[Joni Mitchell]
Loved this song ever since I first heard it.
