“The heavens of America appear infinitely higher, the sky is bluer,  the air is fresher, the cold is intenser, the moon looks larger, the stars are brighter, the thunder is louder, the lightning is vivider, the wind is stronger,  the rain is heavier, the mountains are higher, the rivers longer, the forests bigger, the plains broader.” ~ From Walking~ Henry David Thoreau

 

And flowers grow bigger & brighter……
