It was May 2007, and I was visiting Naperville for the first time. Then, four months later, we moved to Chicago. Tulips had a lot to do with it.

Pleneau Bay, Antarctica
This was a picture taken while zodiac cruising in Pleneau Bay near the Antarctic Peninsula. The hundreds of beautiful icebergs we saw on what was a crystal clear sunny day rivaled the best of the world's architecture. It was one of the most peaceful places I have ever experienced.

This, to me, is the epitome of serene. I loved the way the waters were so still that day. It reminded me of staring at a painting.

The majestic Cascade Mountains and the sheer peaks show the power and the beauty we take for granted and how we should hold each day as special in our hearts. Hold on to that beauty and be thankful in our souls.

Columbia River Gorge, Oregon
I'm lucky enough to live in an area that provides such easy access to some of the most beautiful scenery around! This picture was taken during the summer of 2008 when a few friends and I went hiking in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. This area offers some of the most spectacular views, waterfalls and foliage around. When I just need a break or some time to enjoy, the outdoors this is one of the best spots around!

I love my mom's garden. It's a full expression of her talents for gardening and nurture. These blue flowers are everywhere around our house, and they remind me of home always.
