Since Earth Day was last week and Arbor Day is Friday, I thought I'd share some nature photos I took recently at home and on a hiking trip. I'm posting them along with some inspiring and motivational quotes.

It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are. ~ e.e.cummings.
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." ~Eleanor Roosevelt***
The below photos are from my hiking trip in the NC mountains and include wildflowers.

"The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists." -- Charles Dickens Source: Gilbert Keith Chesterton in Pickwick Papers
"Greatness comes not when things always go good for you, but the greatness comes when you are really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you have been in the deepest valleys can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain." Author Unknown***
