Feb 11

A stylized iceberg floats in the ocean, with two business-suited figures shaking hands at its small, visible peak.

A whimsical illustration of a lush green forest with a winding dirt path leading to a small candy-covered cottage. In the foreground, several swallows and a white ibis fly overhead, some carrying seeds in their beaks. Tall evergreens and rolling hills fill the background, while a black cauldron sits beside the purple-roofed gingerbread-style house on the right.

A woman in a blue blouse and long skirt stands in front of a glowing yellow portal or mirror, through which a lush green forest is visible.

The background is a soft gray haze, highlighting the bright, circular portal reflecting a vibrant natural landscape.
