Have you ever felt that you are seing some hidden beauty in your country?

I guess since the U.S. is such a large nation, there are lots of things to see in my country. I have been told that I should be a tour guide for visitors to Austin because I know where all the cool stuff is. The State Capital, the LBJ Museum, the UT tower, the French Legation, the O Henry Museum. And that's just IN Austin, then you can go to San Antonio to the Alamo, or out to Johnson City to the LBJ birth place and the LBJ ranch. Then there are some of the natural wonders, like Mt. Bonnell, the lakes and Enchanted Rock.

That is a fantastic photo marguicha it is a spectacular view and a real treasure in your country. I live in Australia and although I’ve travelled overseas several times I have not taken the time to visit my country, I’ve seen a little but it is such a big place and there is so much I have yet to see. My dream is to one day travel around Australia with a camper van; it would be an amazing experience. I know there are many treasures to see. It’s funny how many of us put off visiting our own country with the thought that there will be time in the future but living in the now is far more rewarding that is why, although we cannot yet afford it, my husband and I are making our Australian adventure our next goal and with a bit of luck within the next five years, you never know...

yes, i do. i loved the places here in the Philippines. there are so many great places here in the country and most of them are not also known to other people.

Hello my dear friend. Southern Chile looks very beautiful. I liked seeing your picturesque looking photo. You are very good at photography. It is funny that your doctor asked you to spend 40 minutes in the swimming pool and you were planning two hours. It must have been relaxing for you to spend time at the lake. I live in England. I remember visiting the Isle of Wight. I found it very scenic especially by the cliffs. I liked the countryside being next to the sea. Near where I used to live there were many places the coast. I loved the majestic White Cliffs of Dover. I walked across it and saw the stunning sea views. Where I live now I went to Clevedon and saw a beautiful orange sunset. Hug.

Good morning marg, I have never liked to travel & have never really had the chance or money to but i know i have missed out seeing many beautiful things right here in the u.s.a.I'm so glad u enjoyed your vacation. sounds great. Happy mother's day. hugs, jo

This all sounds so beautiful! I'm just glad you got to go and enjoy it. The pool sounds very relaxing, too. Yes, I think I've had the same feelings like you described. I can't wait to see your pictures.

Purdy... Sure, I'll go to a place and see it a different way than the last time due to weather, time of year, time of day, how clear it is, etc.
