A trickling stream in a bright green forest glows in the sunlight A raging waterfall agains a rainbow of colored trees flows into a raging river Green pastures as far as the eye can see, the grass is dancing in the wind and an expansive sky full of clouds hovers above. An aerial view of a chain of tropical green islands, uninhabited and unburdened by humans

Hi #kidlitartpostcard

My 6yr old wants to get a lizard and it reminded me of my childhood pet leopard gecko “Elvis”.
