It's time again For ABC Wednesday. If you aren't participating in ABC Wednesday, you are missing out on a lot of fun.
V is for View. I really thought long and hard on the "V" post. View seemed like it was a bit weak, but couldn't think of anything else. Let's start with the view from the house I grew up in. For several years we lived in a house just outside of Erie, Colorado. Our house sat on a little rise, and we had a great view of the Front Range. A couple of years ago I visited the old place and took this picture of the view.

When I was a boy, I would spend a week every summer at Glacier View Ranch. I always had a good time at summer camp. The last time I was in Colorado, I made a return visit to Glacier View. I hadn't been there since I was a boy. I was surprised by how much things looked the same. The view from the parking lot was just as I remembered it.

One of the most beautiful views I have ever seen is the view from my brother-in-law Duane's cabin. It is located above Leadville, Colorado and the surroundings are beautiful. The view from Duane's cabin is as pretty as any view in the area.

One of my favorite views is the view of my backyard. Each season has a special beauty. there are dogwoods and redbuds in the spring. In the summer the trees have so many leaves that you can't tell I live in town. I believe that it is the most beautiful in the fall. Here is a view of my backyard in the fall. Duane built the table and benches out of granite slabs.

The Talimena Scenic Drive has some of the most beautiful views in Arkansas. We are very blessed to have such beautiful views so close. Here are a couple of views from the Talimena Drive.

One of the most amazing views I have seen in Arkansas, is the view from The Lodge At Mount Magazine. Mount Magazine State park is the highest point in Arkansas. The lodge and the grounds surrounding it have breathtaking views. The great room has large windows that look out from the highest point in Arkansas.

I saved my favorite view for last. Gina and I love to visit Belize. Our favorite place is San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. The last two times we have visited San Pedro, we have stayed at the SunBreeze Hotel right on the beach. The view from our room was beautiful. Right now we are having freezing rain and sleet here in Arkansas. I wish I was in Belize with this view.

All of those are gorgeous views...however after the snow and cold...the last one is the most inviting! It made me think that if it was hot summertime then I would probably comment that the winter ones are the most appealing...why do we always want what we don't have?! It is a bad habit.
ReplyDeleteAh, such pretty views.... I really had a tough time trying to pick just one so I'm not going to! =)
ReplyDeleteThey are all fantastic!
Take care.

I find the Colorado shots with snow-capped mountain breathtaking! Happy ABC Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteYou have some fantastic views. The first is spectacular. We have been to Mount Magazine Lodge and agree that the view there is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great post. I enjoyed seeing all the scenery and reading about parts of the country I haven't seen myself. And I must say that Belize looks really beautiful

Amazing views!Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow! Some great views.
ReplyDeleteNow I know of your Colorado connection - didn't know you were born there. (You're always welcome back...)
What beautiful views. The Colorado photos are outstanding - makes me want to go back. I grew up in Missouri and we spent several weeks every summer in Colorado. What a glorious state.
ReplyDeleteThat last photo of yours makes me think in Grand Cayman. We used to spend Christmases there when my kids were little. Your Belize beach looks just like a Cayman beach. Just lovely!
Thanks for the good memories.
My favourite is the first one - looks just like a painting!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty views...in your backyard view I loved the pretty colors and the number one for me is the beach vie with the palms...if course it reminds me to Key West.
