"Close to Nature's Heart" - a celebration of mountains CALL TO ART


"Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, 
once in awhile and climb a mountain 
or spend a week in the woods. 
Wash your spirit clean." 

This quote by John Muir sings to us as we sit in quarantine from the Corona virus. Some areas have started to open up, other to shelter again.  We want to remind people of the joy and serenity of the mountains in this difficult time.
