Preserving Nature's Glory

 I recently read an article about a man who had ditched his former Environmentalist quest and had given up. He said it was essential to embrace the futility of saving this Earth. It’s the End of the World as We Know It . . . and He Feels Fine  And when I read the article I thought of all the beauty that surround us here in Colorado and thought certainly this is worth our effort to try and preserve this Beauty, this Glory?  To give up- No Way! So here is a tribute to what is and what will be preserved if we try:

Here's some photos by David Cline in The Sierra Club David Cline

Certainly what we have been given by God is worthy of being preserved? Don't we have an obligation to not take this for granted and just make an effort in whatever capacity that we can to not destroy the very gift we are given in Nature?
