HAPPY EARTH DAY 2009!

Today is not a day for lectures but a day to enjoy the beauty of the earth's bounty. Go outside, take a deep breath, and see your surroundings with new eyes, gratitude, and desire to keep it safe.

The first bunch of photographs were sent to me by friends as email attachments. I recognize many from National Geographic, but the source of the others is unknown. The end set of photographs are but just a few taken from Ken and Martha Wiseman's travel blog.
