Very beautiful... However I find very sad not to include the most innocent beings in this planet.... those that are extremely abused by human animals... animals from agriculture farming.... SAY NO to those cruelty.... GO VEGAN.... For the animals, the planet and our health. GRATITUDE. Cow, pigs, chickens, roosters, goose, ducks, sheep, goats, fish, shellfish... insects.... All deserve to live in freedom.
