7 Days of Beauty - An Online Sanctuary

During turbulent times, within or without, we all need moments of respite and ease. The beauty of nature surrounds us - and can nourish us - if we take a few minutes to stop, breathe and pay attention.

 

These videos of music and images are drawn from thousands of photographs taken of land, sea and sky in California over the past decade. Click on each day below for a 5 minute pause to bring nature to you, wherever you are.
