The caption for this picture is called "Burning Clouds" and the pictures were taken by Tsungwei who waited patiently for the right moment to capture the beauty of Yunnan Mountain Valley.
In So West Kunnmig, a capitol city of Yannan province in China, the children are walking one way to school as the donkey carts carry produce to the markets in the opposite direction.
This beautiful area is not on the tourists route as it is 2,600 miles above sea level. Oxidization and metallic minerals gradually added and mixed in the soil to produce extra ordinary reddish brown soil and the colors of the different planted crops from flowers, oil flowers and different vegetables create the beauty you see in this picture. The caption mentioned the arrangement had to have been painted by God.
The old timers used to say a load of hay meant rain was coming . . . wonder what they would have to say about this load of hay. It seems nothing is sacred anymore, poison in the name of white powder to blow your mind. I guess Nancy Reagan's "just say no' hasn't worked yet. Our world is filled with comparisons, interesting isn't it?
So today before you decide on a vacation to China or Mexico, think about the upcoming weekend which will usher in our first days of summer . . . Memorial Day . . . a day to walk the pathways of cemeteries, maybe help place a flag or two on the grave sites of the veterans of all wars, or if you are close by a Veteran's hospital you might think to take a little time to visit a veteran who is alone. It is just a very nice gesture on your part as you leave a tiny spark of caring behind you. If you are going to the parade, for heavens sake put your hand over your heart when our flag goes by, stand up and cheer out loud and be proud to be an American. Clap, you know, put your hands together and smile with pride in your eyes. Hugs to all.
