Blue sky with white clouds, green grass and red flowers. Under the shade of trees, a small creek babbles merrily, accompanied by crisp and joyful sounds of insects and birds all around. Golden waves of rice stalks in the fields sway with the wind, while green waves of wheat resemble emeralds. The air is filled with the fragrance of summer, pleasant and cooling.

On the quaint village paths, grapes vines climb wildly, willows droop elegantly. In courtyards, flowers bloom in a riot of colors, butterflies flutter and dance. From open windows comes the clanking of farm tools, and cheerful singing voices.

At sunset, the sky is painted in brilliant hues. A light breeze blows by, rustling the leaves. Village nights are very quiet, with twinkling stars above and sleeping bugs and birds below, only occasionally punctuated by a barking dog. Moonlight spills like water, serene and beautiful.
