Here we are in the heart of summer.☀️

I hope you are enjoying the sweet summer heat. These days are the longest of the year, yet are a fleeting reminder to be playful, carefree, and wild. Although they feel hot, sticky, and slow, and they still somehow pass too quickly.

Our Earth holds a myriad of diverse treasures, almost as if she holds a thousand planets in one. With billions of inhabitants, she shares her beaches and mountains, her depths in oceans, caves, and jungles, and her vastness in fields of ice, sand, and flowers. She is one grand gift after another.
