It's been at least 31,536,000 seconds since I last posted, and a lot of life happenings have happened. What's motivated me to post is to share some of the beautiful locations that I've been so fortunate to be able to visit. What all of these have in common is that they are U.S. National Parks or U.S. National Monuments. They were created "For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People."
All of the hard work that those incredibly insightful souls did in the 1800's and 1900's has paid off, and continues to pay off. Grandparents, sisters, brothers, senile parents, uncles, aunts, friends, strangers, and communities continually visit the parks and see nature at its finest. Nature wouldn't be so fine if it hadn't been pushed into conservation and protection. Not to go too deeply into a pessimistic thread, but this act of conserving and protecting such beautiful places, and its rewards, will only become more valuable in time. I sure hope that they last beyond generations that I'll count in my lifetime, because there is nothing quite like the rejuvenation of a breath-taking landscape, or encountering wildlife where it's truly wild. Enjoy.
