Sunday was Earth Day, but we'd like to continue this theme for a bit.

An overnight trip up the highest peak in the Rockies? Or a childhood memory of being captivated by a caterpillar? Think for a minute, and let us know.

Watching the fresh lava ooze on the Big Island. Feeling the heat start to make the bottoms of my shoes melt. Touching the lava with a stick. Being there as new land is born.
