things to be happy about nature
- there's a blue sky outside
- the Blue Moon butterfly of Madagascar, Southeast Asia, South Pacific
- horses' noses making steam
- variegated Norway maple leaves
- acres of sunflower fields
- fences covered with honeysuckle
- rags of white clouds rolling in from the sea
- the blue-white shadow of a snowy hedge
- wheat turning the color of molten gold
- burbling mud pots, cracking ice lagoons, natural pools, explosive geysers
- animals living contentedly in the present moment
- planets and their moons
- the first drops of rain on the roof
- sponges swaying on a reef
