Episode 84: Today, we’re paying tribute to the last ten incredible guests we’ve had on the podcast.  Each of them has shared their wisdom and valuable perspectives about photography, creativity, composition, and connecting with nature.  This special Tidbit Tuesday is a compilation of their responses to the last question I ask, which is: What does connecting with nature mean to you?  Their responses are touching and thought-provoking, and I hope they inspire you to consider what connecting with nature means to you, too.  Please enjoy!
