Palm To The Sky

Long Beach, California

I love palm trees! This one is different than most, with short fronds, but it does have a long trunk.

Salt Lake City to Long Beach

Great Salt Lake, Utah 

We had a great trip from Salt Lake City to Long Beach, California. The guy in front of me was so funny, this was his first time on a plane and he was really nervous. We just took off and a little later he asked, are we there yet? I looked out the window and what did I see? We were just passing over The Great Salt Lake and Saltair, we had a long ways to go! HA! HA!

End of the Trail

Ridgedale, Missouri

Craig and I spent a few hours at Top of the Rock and it was beautiful.  There we went in a Golf Cart thru Lost Canyon Cave and Nature Trail.  Craig drove and I took photos.  Then we went to Osage and had a delicious dinner where we were surrounded by their gorgeous golf course.  From there we could see this statue that overlooks Table Rock Lake.  It is called ‘End of the Trail and sculpted by James Fraser.

Beautiful Falls

Dogwood Canyon Nature Park, Lampe, Missouri

These acreages of wild life are located in Missouri & Arkansas and they were purchased in 1990 by Johnny Morris, founder & CEO of Bass Pro Shops. It is now managed by the Dogwood Canyon Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the canyon’s natural plant and wildlife environment. Craig and I spent the day at Dogwood Canyon Nature Park and it was beautiful!  We rode in a tram thru the 10,000 acres of paradise.  There we saw wild life, waterfalls and the beauties of the earth.  I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for this beautiful world!

College of the Ozarks

Point Lookout, Missouri

College of the Ozarks is a private Christian liberal-arts college, overlooking Lake Taneycomo. It has free tuition and originally began giving education to the children who lived in the country (Hillbillies) and continues to do the same, today.  The students work on the campus, milking cows, gardening, mowing lawns, working in the restaurant or cleaning, wherever they are needed.  I think the idea is awesome!    It is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church.  I love this photo with a bell, cross and flag in it.

Branson Landing

Branson, Missouri

Branson Landing is a beautiful area with stores & restaurants with the White River running thru it, though some say it is actually Lake Taneycomo a finger lake.  This was the best place to sit and RELAX as a water-skier went by.
