Natural treasures

Not of silver or gold, but nature's beauty is a natural treasure as well.

My family is visiting the Rocky Mountain National Park, and enjoying the beauty and greenery of it all.

It is difficult to capture the grandeur and beauty on camera. I don't think I did it justice with my photos. Wide expansive meadows, beautiful lakes and streams with clear clean waters, high mountain ranges with hardy plants. We hiked quite a bit, and taking it all in.

We caught sight of a mother moose and its calf. While supposedly wild, the mother has a tag collar, so it might be an animal tracked by the Park Rangers.

My kids earned their Junior Ranger badge, so they are thrilled.

There were once prospectors for gold and silver here, but only low quality silver ore was found and it was not economically viable. All that is left are abandoned mining towns such as Lulu City.

I like this kind of article because they make me feel like I was travelling there. Thank you.

You're welcome! I hope to visit the natural beauty of Brazil one day. Have to wait till my kids are older.

Who does not like to see the natural scene. Everyone wants to visit the beautiful places of the world. We have become mechanical to see ourselves the buildings of the brick-cement-stone buildings around us. Difficulty in nesting the house. So maybe our mechanical city, where there is a lot of opportunities, as well as our sightseeing. Because we are naturally comfortable. Now we do not go to enjoy the wonderful landscapes at any place of trouble, where we have to face many problems. And that is why we go beyond our sights, some of the wonderful places in the world.

Yes, most of us live in cities but I would encourage everyone to go back to nature once in a while to reconnect, in mind and spirit. We need to protect the remaining green spaces.

Everything in nature is so grand and flawlessly perfect.. I am also fond of to observe and enjoy such natural scenes. It is really a wonderful spectacle.
Thanks for sharing
