A Thought for World Oceans Day


There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.

Lord Byron

Today is World Oceans Day for more information visit Here and There and Everywhere

That is one of my favorite Byron quotes, thanks for posting that! As a marine biologist I let world ocean's day slip by without a post celebrating it, but I was at work taking care of sea creatures, I hope that counts for a good excuse! Thanks for honoring our oceans.
