Happy Earth Day!

So fitting that this day follows John Muir's birthday, which is an additional reminder of the importance of taking care of our home.  This year's Google Earth Day doodle is another fun interactive one - read instructions here to enjoy all its features. "Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home!"

An Extra Note of Gratitude for our Beautiful World

 

This video is an amazing compilation of the most stunning nature scenes from the Planet Earth series. Crank it up to 1080p to really enjoy this experience. This would be even more breathtaking viewed in an IMAX theater, but still great to watch on a pc. Happy Thanksgiving!
