Beauty

I was thinking about the beauty of the earth today. I've seen some beautiful things in my life. Obviously, I haven't been everywhere. I've never been out of the country. But so far, in my 25.5 years of life, these are the things I think everyone should see before they die. Since beauty is so subjective, I can't really say that something is more beautiful than something else, because everything has its own beauty. These are all the ones I could think of today, and they are in no particular order.

#1 Zion National Park. This is the only picture I didn't take myself. It truly takes your breath away.

#2 Ka'anapali Beach in Maui. The water was as clear and as warm as a swimming pool.

#3 The flowers at Pike's Market in Seattle. I've never seen anything like it.

#4- The black sand beach along the Road to Hana in Maui.

#5- The waterfalls along the Road to Hana.

#6- Haleakala Crater. I don't know why they call it a crater, since it's actually a giant volcano.

#7- The Road to Hana. (Yes, I know I've already put two of these in here.)

#8- The falls in Yellowstone. It made my jaw drop.

#9- Sunset in the San Juan Islands.

#10- The high Uintas. It's one of my favorite places in the world.

#11- The view from Baldy in the Uintas. I can't believe I let Brandon stand that close to the edge.

#12- Airlie Gardens. Our NC friends probably laugh at this, but it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. We just don't have gardens like that in Utah.

#13- A tunnel of live oaks. You feel like you stepped back in time.

#14- The Outer Banks. I felt like I would see a schooner any minute on the horizon. It was amazing.
