"Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous" Leonardo da Vinci

I came across the quote on a nature trail in Kodachrome Basin State Park in Utah. I don't think da Vinci ever visited Utah, but I'd like to think he may have had some desert location in mind when he penned this quote. The desert can be so bare and simple, but deliver such astounding beauty and efficiency.
