In honor of Earth Day 2012, I created this Facebook cover photo of some pansies sparkling with dew drops. I added a quote from the poet William Blake: "To see a world in a grain of sand, / And a heaven in a wild flower, / Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, / And eternity in an hour." I was very happy with how the macro focus on my camera worked to capture the droplets and velvety surface of the flowers.

This image became my Twitter background image on Earth Day 2012 (22 April). I found the beautiful blowing ornamental grass growing at the base of a skyscraper in downtown Sacramento. I added some texture filters and a slight blur to the photo to give it more of an artsy feel.

In 1937, Albert Einstein stated that "All religions, arts, and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom. They seek to fulfill this great task by spreading moral and cultural understanding, renouncing the use of brute force." I used that quote on this, my first Facebook cover photo on my new FB Timeline. The photo of an oak forest, focusing on one tree with a beautiful curving branch, seemed like a perfect illustration for the branch in Einstein's quote. The photo was taken at the Effie Yeaw Nature Center.
