For the beauty of the earth

One of the constants we have in this world is the beauty of the earth. Big (or little) sacred spots that make us feel whole.

Inspiring, fulfilling, peaceful. 

Amazing, awesome, grandiose!

So much of this beauty is seen in Yellowstone and the surrounding area. 

Scenes that took my breath away!

These spots provide a feeling a normalcy amid the evergreens and elk, where the hot pots meet the cold river. 

For the beauty of the earth. 

Still my favorite holiday

I love Independence Day. I love celebrating our country with family and fireworks and a round of “God Bless the USA.” 

Fun at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.

Lighting and watching fireworks late into the night.
