From Coast to Coast and a Jump to Hawaii - Part 2

The mountains in the southeast are not as tall as those found in the southwest but they have something that is hard to find in the southwest...waterfalls! There's nothing like sitting next to a waterfall watching the path of the water as it cascades down the boulders and rocks.

 Thanks  Beth and Lisa for sharing these colorful photos of the beautiful mountains in the southeast.

 

 

 

Inspiring scenery fills the state of Arizona. These images are from the Grand Canyon, Madeira Canyon and Sedona.

 This idyllic spot is south of Carmel along the Pacific coast. Thanks Karen and Georgann for these absolutely stunning photos from these magnificent places.

This photo is of Reed's Meadow in the San Jacinto Wilderness. It was taken a week before the Mountain Fire of 2013 blazed through this area erasing the life and beauty that existed here. It is a stark reminder to never take loved ones and special places in nature for granted. Thanks, Rick!

Spend time with a little one whenever possible!! They will remind you of the wonders that surround you through their inquisitive nature.

 Be sure to take time to play outside no matter what the weather and keep that adventurous spirit alive!
Nigel and Kristin are masters at it! If you need a kayak instructor or guide to a barrier island, they are the best! Their next destination...Nepal.

Don't forget the ocean is full of magnificent life as well! Thanks Dave for these gorgeous underwater photos of little fish with really big names in Hawaii!

 

Wishing you all a Thanksgiving full of simple blessings! Thanks to everyone who shared their photos!!
