Morning Magic

Cool, moist air laced with fragrance of plants and flowers await the rising of the sun. Birds coo, chirp, and tweet in the background while cattle can be heard lowing in the distance. Earth is alive and well. #earth #sunrise #dawn #country

Earth Tones

Dark clouds drop light rain over black soil to sprout green crops that will feed the hungry. Thank you Good Earth! #rainclouds #soil #rain #crops
