Grand Canyon_1999_5a Any discussion of favorite places for me must begin with the Grand Canyon. While I could pepper this post with lots of amazing facts and figures about the Canyon, just look at it. There are no words to do it justice. Haleakala 1 Then there is Haleakala on the island of Maui. You are forgiven if you thought these pictures (above and below) were from a NASA mission on another planet.

I’m afraid my skills as a photographer can’t do it justice, but I submit below in a feeble attempt to participate in the Sunday Stills challenge: Favorite Places. The estuary of the Chesapeake is vast and encompasses six states. Pillar to pillar cropy

Weems Creek (below) is one of those spots that I visit and revisit. It’s a place where I can recharge spiritually. It’s home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. WWE 7

While I would hardly characterize turning forty years of age a cause celabre, I still managed to have a good time. These exciting shots were taken on the Road to Hana. It’s a terrifying stretch of road, but it’s worth the grey hairs. How often do you get to jump off of a waterfall into a beautiful lagoon?

There’s a book called Maui Revealed. It’s updated annually. Available on Amazon, it’s a must-read if you are planning a vacation in Maui. Maui 8 Maui 13 This is my submission to Cee’s newest challenge: On the Hunt for Joy.
