Is it possible to lose yourself in the beauty of
lakes, rivers and seas? As you immerse yourself
in the water, you begin to see the transitions
from vivid blue to sparkling turquoise to
shimmering green. From Austria to Arizona and
Mexico, from Italy to Texas and Colorado,
they have one thing in common. Uncommon
beauty.
The trees in Argentina seem somehow taller,
more majestic. Perhaps it's the melted snow
from the Andes that irrigates the desert. The
Fall colors and Autumn light leave a different
impression on a Virginia road.
Some birds don't blend into any tree. They
are the scene, in and of themselves. Bold in
color and in attitude, they rule the roost and
the sky.
The canyons in Arizona
collect precious water. Yet, in
the desert the cactus seem to
soar without a hint of it.
The Andes seem ever more
mysterious, rising above the
plateau outside Mendoza.
