“Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the sons and daughters of the Earth. This we know. The Earth does not belong to people; people belong to the Earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected.” – Chief Seattle
In honor of Earth Day and inspired in part by Michelle at BoomerEcoCrusader, I’m changing up the photos of the week to be some of the things I’ve been lucky enough to see on planet Earth.
Mt Elbrus (part of the Caucus Mountain Range) in Russia
The Mexican Volcanoes
The Himalaya including Tengboche Monastery, the Khumbu Icefall and Mt. Everest left to right in the bottom row.
And my home territory – the mountains of the Pacific Northwest
And the waters of the Pacific Northwest.
Happy Earth Day, Everyone!
