Friday Fotos: Arizona’s Many Spectacular Forests

“The forest is a peculiar organism of unlimited kindness and benevolence that makes no demands for its sustenance and extends generously the products of its life activity; it affords protection to all beings, offering shade even to the axe-man who destroys it.” ―Buddha

Let’s love and protect our forests… after all, they’re pretty remarkable.

Enjoy!
