“I love walking because it clears your mind, enriches the soul, takes away stress and opens up your eyes to a whole new world.” – Claudette

The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things - the more they become invisible to us.

“Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast — you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.”

“In its complexity and sensuality, nature invites exploration, direct contact, and experience.

“One forgets that there are environments which do not respond to the flick of a switch or the twist of a dial.

“Enjoy the little things in life. Because one day you will look back and realize they were the big things... -Robert Brault”
