Sunday during our morning walk, I was snapping away with the camera, when Hubby said “Look, the Arch.”
Sure enough, when I looked up some trees had bent together forming an arch.
While not the St. Louis archway to the west, it could certainly be the arch to adventure.
I started to think back to the other photos I had taken, and thought maybe I could associate different sights in our little neck of the woods with other American landmarks.
So without further ado and in no particular order here our the landmarks we saw on our walk.
While not Pike’s Peak….
It is still a small mountain and worth climbing.
While not the Golden Gate Bridge…
I can certainly imagine something using this as a bridge when the wash is full.
While not the Grand Canyon…….
We can look down and imagine mules carrying tourists down to the bottom.
While not the Oregon Trail…..
It certainly looks like some type of fur trading is taking place here.
While not the mighty Mississippi or Niagara Falls…..
This little stream made a lovely little tinkling noise.
What types of landmarks have you found around you?
And before I let you go, a quick update on the one year anniversary drawing.
The anniversary contest ended Sunday evening, and at that time I had 17 comments.
I went to Random.org and put in 1 – 17 and was given the number 7. I counted down to the 7th comment and our winner is…..SASSYKASSY!!
Sassy, send me an e-mail and let me know if you want treats or toys for your babies, as well as your mailing address.
Very cool!!
What a lovely hike. Sometimes its the smaller-scale, close-to-home monuments that are the most full of meaning and joy.
I love it. Your little treks are a microcosm of the whole country.
A very imaginative sightseeing tour! I loved it 🙂
Loved the tour. You certainly have some great trails to walk. Congrats to the winner.
What a super post. I love how you see the BIGGER PICTURE!! Very PAWSitive outlook.
Very cute – and I am so jealous. We have litter strewn parcels of “woods” and parking lots to explore. Hmmm…does K-mart count as a great American landmark?
Such fun! I will have to be on the look out for well known landmarks on a smaller scale around our neck of the woods. Perhaps the creek we pass on our walk to the schoo bus stop is really the Mississippi River in disguise. 🙂
Looks like a lovely hike!
Isn’t nature more awesome than anything we silly humans could create? When you make the effort, you can find some very pretty places in our own neighbourhoods.
Thanks for sharing the video! It’s fun to see the dogs in real-time. 🙂
