Quotes About Nature

Quotes about Nature explores the wonder of nature through the eyes of my camera lens and the wisdom of our fellow man.

Living in Canada, I am blessed with the opportunity to take marvellous photographs of the spectacular Canadian wilderness. My nature pictures range from the majesty of the world-famous Niagara Falls, a short 90 minute drive from my home in Toronto, to the seclusion of my own backyard.

For this article, I've also gone further afield and chosen nature pictures from around the globe, from poppies in England, waterfalls in Bali and sunrise in Hawaii. And I've selected those quotes about nature that seem most relevant to each of my photos.
