Wow (to steal Patrick's opening comment), you all have made this my most popular image so far. This is very inspiring and I want to tell you all how much I appreciate your words. I can't wait to go make some more. Here's a quote I love for your enjoyment in return:"All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself.
The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt
if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality.... the true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning of evening.
It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched."
-Henry David Thoreau
Walden, or Life in the Woods
What could better describe our passion?
-Michael
