HAPPY EARTH DAY!


When one tugs at a single thing in nature,
he finds it attached to the rest of the world. 
- John Muir

Did you know that Earth Day comes just one day after John Muir's birthday? John Muir, early 20th century naturalist and co-founder of the Sierra Club, was born 177 years ago on April 21, 1838. We have him to thank for the preservation of the Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks in the U.S.!

(The photo above is from the most serene breakfast setting I've ever experienced, in a treehouse perched atop a lush forest outside of Chiang Mai. Highly recommended for anyone who needs to escape the concrete jungle for awhile!)
