I look at the airplane screen.
Tulips
Mountain Sides
Scenic Lakes
There's something aggravating about this kind of tranquility.
Like it's being forced and jammed down your throat.
Rotting log with tiny insect
Forests of green and red
I was waiting for a coyote to jump out and grab something.
Now that's nature.
I suppose no one wants to think about reality when they're 35,000ft. in the air.
Adorable

We're coming in for a sideways landing.
I notice that the couple with an infant one row up from us and to the left are missing.
Maybe someone ate them
