“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” –Chinese Proverb

Check out the heron’s eye in the first pic. Looks like some sort of protective eye lid while he struggles with the snake. In the second pic he’s trying to figure out how to eat it.

“When we feel happy and peaceful our happiness and peace radiates around us, and others can enjoy it as well.” Buddhist Thought
