Inspired by the land

As a "farm kid" I was always taught by my parents to respect the land and the environment.  Traveling across our great country, I have found so many beautiful places where it is obvious that the people living there have taken that advice to heart.  I like this quote by Theodore Roosevelt, who has inspired me to do some writing about some of these places.

“Of all the questions which can come before this nation, short of the actual preservation of its existence in a great war, there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
