Sturdy, majestic. Formed by wind over ages. Stand as testimony to resilience in the desert. Serenity. #NV #RedRocks #Desertbeauty

A leader born here brought us together. Hopeful we can do so again. Peaceful and reverent place. Abounding beauty and history. #LincolnBirthplace. #AbrahamLincoln #KY #nationalmonument

Glorious and mysterious. Otherworldly. Peace. Just a place you can exhale and relax in the rugged beauty of nature. Waves crashing (and they creep in more than you expect.) #CannonBeach #OR #beach #nature #naturephotography

Never forget. Always honor the fallen. Maybe we can someday fulfill this. Baltimore 9/11 memorial. NYC firetruck honoring crew. #sept11 #Baltimore #Phoenix #neverforget #MD #AZ #hallofflamefiremuseum

Yep, the rest stop just before you get to Bosque del Apache. All buildings and walkways elevated.

You quickly learn while hiking and enjoying the outdoors that you are in nature’s house. Others live there. Learn to respect them. True co-existence. You are the visitor. Be nice. #naturephotography #hiking #respectnature #NM #BosquedelApache #mountainlion #rattlesnake

Try something different-we did. Hiked Oregon Dunes. 6 storied dunes. From trees to ocean. Sometimes doing different, challenging things are a joy. #OregonDunes #OR #naturephotography #somethingnew

Fascinated that the midpoint of Appalachian Trail is where 3 states meet & 2 rivers converge. History & beauty. Enjoyed the few miles on this part of the trail. What unites us is stronger than what divides. #AppalachianTrail #WV #VA #MD #PotomacRiver #ShenandoahRiver #naturephotography #USHistory

Life slows down. Enjoy the calm, peace, beauty. Not stepping back in time but, rather, understanding the importance of pace. #MackinacIsland #Michigan #quiet #LakeHuron

Art in a field. Interactive and welcoming. Fun and makes you feel included. Yes, we contributed. Life is meant to be fun. #CadillacRanch #Amarillo #TX #art #interactiveart

Grand Canyon North Rim. Such beauty now scarred. Yet nature will do its job and rebuild. Hope man learns from nature. Such peace and amazement. And great hiking. #GrandCanyon #NorthRim #naturephotography #AZ #NPS

The plains yield to a vast canyon. Second to the Grand Canyon it offers stunning landforms & critters. A wind blows consistently here for a sense of what it can & has done. Beauty in the flatlands. Nice surprise. #PaloDuro #Amarillo #serenity #canyon #lizard #TX #naturephotography #natureisbeautiful

Time, nature, wind, and water craft unimaginable sculptures. These amaze and humble with their enduring beauty. We may think we are builders. Not even close. To be in awe of such natural works feeds the soul. #Utah #MexicanHat #Goosenecks #SanJuanRiver #naturephotography

Nestled in beauty and history lies Bluff, UT. Some see it as a speck. It’s a peaceful piece of natural and human history. Stay small, learn big, meet people who will never be a stranger. #BluffUT #Utah #Bluff #TwinSisters #history #petroglyphs #naturephotography

Intriguing forms and oasis in desert. Among vast sand, scrub, and rocks are places to wonder. Always good to wander amongst wonder. #IndianCanyon #PalmSprings #CA #AguaCaliente #naturephotography #AndreasCanyon #oasis

Wind sculpts forms so beautiful. Some are arches, others hoodoos that dance on sheer walls. #ArchesNP #Utah #nationalparks #3gossipscourthousetowers #DelicateArch #naturephotography #amazingnature

Bucket list ☑️. As a kid I fell in love with the West watching TV. I fell in deeper love seeing Monument Valley. Truly a place to revere nature, marvel at beauty, and stand in awe. Hope it inspires all to cherish nature. #naturephotography #MonumentValley #Navajo #naturalbeauty #Arizona #ForrestGump

Beautiful historical ruins from past. Wonder what our ruins will look like. #mesaverde #nationalparks #survival #resist #colorado

Change. Metamorphosis. Once a forest, now plains, hills, desert. Trees now rocks. Maybe a lesson for all? #PetrifiedForest #nationalparks #Arizona #Navajo #nature #naturephotography #respectnature

Transition, isolation, wind. Working together to sculpt natural monuments. Artistic. Middle of nowhere is peace and beauty. #Grandstaircase #Eacalante #Utah #Kanab #Toadstoolhoodoos #nature #naturephotography

6 story dunes. Beauty surrounds. Bay to lake to lake. Forest becomes sand. Mighty and inspiring. #SleepingBearDunesNP #Michigan #LakeMichigan #GlenLake #naturephotgraphy #cherryrepublic

Majesty. Nature not only inspires awe, it exudes peace. Aptly named Zion NP with mountains and places named to direct us and lead us. I was inspired. #ZionNP #NPS #Utah #TheSentinel #WestTemple #hiking #nature #mountains

Multnomah is east of Portland OR. Take 84 which parallels Columbia River. You’ll pass 6 beautiful waters to the town of Hood. Burney Falls is east of Redding CA

David in Dallas @dcege.bsky.social · May 10

Thanks and yes there are many beautiful falls along that stretch. We saw Latrell and bridal veil falls as well. What a beautiful area. Stayed 3 nights in Hood.

David in Dallas @dcege.bsky.social · May 9

Waterfalls are mesmerizing. Beauty and power. They cause calm and awe. Learned to appreciate and marvel at them while exploring Oregon and Northern California. #nature #waterfall #MultnomahFalls #BurneyFalls #Oregon #California #naturephotography
