A Sand County Almanac


- "No matter how intently one studies the hundred little dramas of the woods and meadows one can never learn all the salient facts about any one of them"

- "Our ability to percieve quality in nature begins as in art with the pretty. It expands through successive stages of the beautiful to values as yet uncaptured by language"


These two quotes were two of the many that caught my attention. Aldo Leopold says it very clear that although we see nature around us, we will never know the true meaning behind it. We as people tend to overlook things and take things forgranted which doesnt allow us to to see behind the white lines. Nature is more than pretty, it just takes time to acknowledge it for everything it has to offer. We need nature just as much as nature needs us! It takes time and dedication to grasp full understanding of something, therefore to understand nature time is the factor. Taking this course has really changed my mindset about things, at the beginning of the semester i had a different perspective about nature.. A more careless type feeling!
