It is nice to dream of traveling the world
In search breathtaking sites
Yet most of us, it is just a dream
So to wander local
To see the beauty close to home
It is what most of us can do
Sometimes just minutes away
For there is always something new and beautiful to see
For me a visit to the river and one of my favorite native trees
The black gum tree – Nyssa sylvatica
Oh wow! Beautiful!
Thank you Annie
Sometimes the most beautiful sites are just around the corner! Lovely
I agree, for they are the things that can make each day special, Thanks for the ccomment
Vibrantly beautiful.
Thank you, and special to me to find one of my favorite trees, just there along the river, and looking forward going back
I am sure you will get chance to see it again in a different mood.
I take people to places that are just around the corner and they say, ‘Oh Wow! I never knew that was there.’ And I think to myself, ‘Have you ever opened your eyes?’
You might be right, I think we lose slight of all the interesting things that are just around us, and have to travel to see the same things somewhere else. Thanks
Oh I love this. Stunning photo and your words are perfect for the theme this week.
Thank you I appreciate your kind words
You’re most welcome!
It’s a beauty! There is such incredible life, in and around us
Thank you, I will take the beauty of nature over what we can create
We, too, are seeing peak color here in the mountains of Virginia. No need to escape – beauty is all around, as you indicated.
When there is colors coming in our windows and all around us just outdoors seem foolish to travel where everyone else is headed to see the same thing. I hope you had a nice show where you are, our show now carpets the ground, thanks
Breath taking!!!
Thanks, I was happy find this black gum tree, for I used to have a few of them just outside my window, where I used to live. It is one of my two favorite native trees
Just breathtaking!!!!
