Thankfulness Day Three

The beauty of nature never ceases to amaze me. From the smallest of flowers to the grandest of mountains, the colors and brilliance of nature's wonders is astounding. No art museum, no photograph or movie can ever capture the raw essence and magnitude of the natural wonders of our earth.  To walk in a rainforest is to surround yourself with the greenest of greens and to fill your senses with the smells and sounds of the rainforest. There are limitless shades of greens and countless shapes and sizes of leaves and trees.  It is all too breathtaking to believe. When you think of the diversity of the most barren desert to the lushness of a rainforest, it is just indescribably wonderful.  Rolling dunes of sand, tall mountains with thundering waterfalls, fields of green pastures, endless oceans in every color of blue, babbling brooks, deep canyons, raging rivers....our earth holds them all. Every color of the rainbow can be found.  Every type of topography. Geological wonders are just beyond our doors.  Today I am grateful for all the beauty found in nature.  I am grateful for the times I have been able to experience the wonders of our earth.  I am grateful for all the richness and  breathtaking vistas that are found in all the nooks and crannies of every corner of the globe. Nature's beauty abounds. Aren't we all lucky to be a part of such a beautiful world?
