My friend and I had just finished visiting the Royal Observatory and seen the prime meridian in England. We were on our way back to find the train station to get us back into London when we saw these flowers blooming and thought they were very colorful.

We have some really nice sunsets here in our town and wonderful scenery. Where else can you live with the ocean out your front door and the mountains out your back?

I went for a hike with a friend of mine. Our hike was very relaxing; I had my feet in the stream, and my friend set up his hammock. He then told me not to panic, but come closer. There were three bear cubs in a tree! And one was an albino! They were so beautiful and there was something very calming about the experience. I managed to snap this great picture of them and hightail it out of there!
Maui, Hawaii
Looking straight up at the treetops. As beautiful as the bamboo is to see, it is equally as beautiful to hear its sounds in the breeze...

Los Angeles
I took this picture on my visit to Los Angeles this past summer. The light was perfect, and the butterfly was stunningly beautiful. It is one of my favorites and shows how beautiful nature is.

The English Garden in Assiniboine Park, Winnipeg, Canada
This picture was taken during my road trip from Quebec to the Yukon in the summer of 2007. I was looking at the water lilies and then I saw this frog sitting in it as if it was a little queen sitting on her royal chair. Amazing picture. I was really at the right place at the right moment. Every time I look at it, it brings me peace and I feel calm. The frog actually sat there for a very long time.

Alaska
My mom and I traveled through Alaska (her third time, my second), and we just love how the postcards and calendars really do represent the beauty of this state.

This was taken early in the morning. Just a wonderful way to start fresh and see the beauty we miss when we sleep.

Vermont
Many family farms in Vermont are struggling to survive as the big factory farms take over. Many go under. This is a rare family farm that is still working.

Yellow Point Lodge in Vancouver Island, Canada
I took this shot from across the outdoor saltwater pool at Yellow Point Lodge on a foggy morning in early December. This area of Vancouver Island is just so breathtakingly beautiful—one of the most restful places I've been.

Iguazu, Argentina
In Iguazu, Argentina, you will find Las Cataratas, the falls. The rush of waters and their thundering song is a reminder that all is well with Mother Earth—that she is ongoing, fertile and self-cleansing. Humankind can take a lesson from her thriving presence to understand that it is humankind, not Mother Earth, that is in dire need of course correction. I will hear the sound of these thundering falls in my sleep for all my days and my heart.
