Everyone has a little bit of ‘I want to save the world’ in them. It’s okay if you only save one person. And it’s okay if that person is you. #yosemite_national_park #yosemite #protectnationalparks #nikonphotography #nationalpa “Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.” ― Henry Rollins #nikonz #califonia #calilife #californiacoast #sunsets #sunsetpic #duskphotography The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep Robert Frost #frost #poetry #nikonphotography #nikonphotographers #califonia #norcal #coast #treestagram “There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.” - Adam Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. Mahatma Gandhi #mahatma_gandhi #oak #sacramento #california #freedom #mistakes #sunset “Why are we born needing impossible things? Why is it that we all have things we need to live that simply do not exist in the universe? A purpose in life. Unconditional love? Our emotional needs met? Ha.” — Elizabeth Bear, Machine “There’s a responsibility in being a person. It’s more than just taking up space where air would be.” John Steinbeck, East of Eden #fushia #flowerstagram #steinbeck #eastofeden #responsability #nikonz If you feel like you don’t fit into the world you inherited it is because you were born to help create a new one. Ross Caligiur #creativity #imagination #pinnicles #usanationalparks #nikonz But goodness alone is never enough. A hard, cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil. Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land #goodness #wisdom #heinlein #washingtondc #uscapitol If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything. -Mark Twain #washingtondc #uscapitol #jeffersonmemorial #nikonz In a democracy, dissent is an act of faith. J. William Fulbright -1966 Speech to the US Senate #uscapitol #washingtondc #democracy #nikonphotography #nikonz “Sometimes doing your best is not good enough. Sometimes you must do what is required.” — Winston Churchill picture of a male house finch #finch #birdsphotography #sacramento #nikonz “The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.” John Muir #muir #mercedriver #riverrock #yosemitenationalpark🌲 #yosemite_national_park #nikon #nikonz Photogenic cat does photogenic cat things. #catsofinstagram #arya #treatsnow What do you mean the galaxy is Orion’s Belt? It’s just three stars! There is a whole universe in the details when you look at small things. Do you know what this pictured? Comment what you think it is below. #nikon #macro #plants #bodeg Sometimes a goal is to just go higher. Other times you are hanging on for dear life wondering, how did I get here? Why am I in this beautiful national park? Was that a condor? Then the climb goes on, and you smile because you are happy. #pinnaclesnat California poppies are popping up everywhere! The state flower can be seen around neighborhoods, parks, on the side of freeways and really anywhere in California. Just don’t pick them and leave them for the next person to see. #california #gol “Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson #nikon #macrophoto #nikonz #sacramento I should be glad if all the meadows on the earth were left in a wild state, if that were the consequence of men’s beginning to redeem themselves. -Henry David Thoreau Bird- common yellowthroat warbler #thoreau #birds_nature #birdphotography #ni “The two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” ― Mark Twain #marktwain #laketahoe #tahoe #california #californiadreaming #nikon #nikonphotography #nikoncreators
