Here's a few photos of Natures treasures I have taken along many travels, that I personally think are just as worthy as the great tourist sites we all strive to get to. And yet the greatest pleasures may just be the natural wonders of this world some of us may see as we travel from one tourist site to another.
If you click on the photo, you'll bring it up full size. Enjoy!

Wow Jim these are great. Thanks for posting them. I will have to find some of my traveling photo's and post some for you.
MY JOURNEY BEGINS. (armchair) Yes, you are definitly right about hidden jewels and slowing down to obvserve. Although I have only had the chance to observe natures beauty while on my local walks, I still manage to find it! Not long ago I discovered a beautiful Passion flower, which I thought was sooo out of place amongst the weeds, and found out that it was actually the Tennessee state wildflower! Visit my page "The Wild Side" for some of the beauty I have found while out for my walks.
