DeleteYes indeed, my friend. It makes us realize that we are part of the beautiful creatures too. Human are the best creature ever created on earth. The responsibility we carry to take care of other creatures. Back to basic movement is spreading around the world nowadays to re-embrace Mother's Nature. Hope we can become part of this movement too..
