Wonders of the World

Mabry's Mill, Blue Ridge Parkway, VA.   Not too far from where I live.  I took this pic when I took my mom on a little sightseeing trip down the Parkway.

Blue - what a beautiful baby. 

Heather - Oh my gosh ... and I'm afraid of cats!!

Great Pictures everyone.  So glad you are sharing.

Bren, been to Mabry Mill a few times and it is beautiful there. 

Keep them coming.     

Brenda 

 Wow, Annie.  That was one helluva story.

SoCal Lisa, is that a glacier in your last picture?

Otter, I haven't been to Yellowstone in 30+ years -- time for a return trip, I think!

Bren, Mabry's Mill looks so sweet.

I don't have my own digital pix, but a favorite vacation spot of mine has been Lake of the Clouds in the Porcupine Mountains State Park (upper peninsula of Michigan, even more "up north" than where I grew up in Wisconsin!):

Bringing sunrise from Chicago to all of you who enjoy viewing the wonders of the world.  Imagine, drifting on Lake Michigan in a sail boat no less and enjoying your first cup of coffee while watching the sun warm your hearts.

Valerie:  Beautiful picture of Chesapeake Bay.  It made me sentimental as it made me thing of many things once along time ago in my lifetime.

Bren:  Wow, you certainly have surfed at some of the greatest beaches.  I cant wait to see more pictures.  A dog on a surf board would be cool!  Thinking I might just get a board and walk along the shore with you this morning.  Thats if I can pull you away from Mr. T!

Barb:  So good to see you.  Hmmm posting pictures, I know there are instructions somewhere.  I will have to search and find them for you. I must agree, such a nice serene place to come to and visit with old and new friends. 

Heather:  What a story, read it with intrigue and eyes wide open.  A picture for you.  So close to the Mediterranean Sea yet so far away!

Blue:  Im loving your furbaby, will have to get a picture of my three furbaby's together.  Its a sight to see.  One goofy dog and two cats who think they rule this house.

Otter:  Your picture of Mammouth Park takes my breath away.  The beauty of nature at its best.  Definitely a Wonder of the World. Hope I get to go there some day.

Sheri:  A big hello to you. Now you can walk along the shores and feel the warm ocean breezes from all over the world!  Use "direct link" when posting pictures here.  Although lately I have just been copying and pasting and it seems to work pretty well.  Grab a surf board and join us for an early morning walk - surfs up!

Brenda:  So nice to see you.  I will be looking forward to some mountain pictures as I think the mountains are as mysterious as the Seas.

SoCal:  Hello there my friend.  Those are some beautiful pictures, just sort of drifted away for a moment and pretended I was there!

Ann:  Upper Michigan - its beautiful.  I can understand why its your favorite spot.  Everything is so blue and green with a golden haze from the sun.  Just lovely.

Lisa:  Had you not explained that was a glacier, I would never have known.  I agree - Calgon take me away.

Have a great morning.  Cant wait to see some of the other places we will visit - which are true wonders of the world.

If you want to know your past - look into your present conditions. If you want to know your future - look into your present actions.

For some reason, my pictures don't seem to be working.  I do enjoy looking at everyone elses pictures.

But wait..I forgot one of my favorite places...Segovia

We used to have picnics at the little park on the bottom

I always wished one of my kids would get married here..

We would then often eat dinner at a little restaurant right here where I took the photo of the aquaduct here too...it still is funtioning from Roman times..

 Tim and I on my 50th B-day at the lighthouse in Kewaunee, WI

(Not near as impressive as the aquaduct!! But, hey, I was on vacation!)

SoCalLisa,

I was at Bryce two summers ago. What an incredible sight, truly breathtaking. I started taking pictures and realized That none could ever do justice to the splendor. Great shot!!
