 The Earth is not just the environment. The Earth is us. Everything depends on whether we have this insight or not. –Thich Nhat Hanh, Love Letter to the Earth

Day 9 of Susannah Conway’s #AugustBreak2015 photography challenge, and the phrase of the day is Earth. This was my most difficult project so far, because my subject kept melting! I shot this picture outdoors and used PicMonkey to add a starry background (via universe-beauty.com). Whew, it was a whole lotta work, but I sure learned a lot! For that reason alone, I’m happy with the results.
