....and Alaska! I love the connections I've made through Joyful Puttering.
It's the last day of summer....and I could have used light gloves and earmuffs on my early morning walk. I actually adore these crisp mornings.....and I absolutely adore fall....so bring it on!
Isn't it just stunning! Perfect end of summer photo!
I love both mushrooms and rocks....so when Cherie shared her photos from Mushroom Rock State Park in the middle of Kansas farmland....I was a little jealous! I've driven through Kansas several times....so I kind of chuckled with the first line on the sign that said "Mushroom Rock State Park is one of the truly amazing wonders of Kansas."
I know every state is beautiful in its own way....but "amazing wonders" does not leap to mind when I think of Kansas.
I will be the first to admit that these incredible 66+ million year old mushroom rock formations are a wonder to behold. Thanks Cherie and Dale!
Yay, we surprised you on this one 😃
ReplyDeleteYes you did!!!
DeleteObviously that anonymous comment was from me 😳🫢
ReplyDeleteHa ha....I knew that was you!
DeleteThat sunset photo is exquisite and those mushroom rock formations are amazing! Chuck's wandering flowers certainly do get around! So much fun to follow them!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, and yes! Glad it's fun for you too Judy!
DeleteBeautiful end-of-summer Alaska photo from Lily! Wondrous photos of mushroom rocks in Kansas from Cherie and Dale! I especially love the photo w/ the Wandering Flowers perched on top of the fence rail with their color and size contrasted with the mushroom rock behind them.
ReplyDeleteYour discussion of "amazing wonders" in Kansas triggered a memory of the relief map my son Scott created when in 4th grade. Each student had to do a different state; Scott had Kansas (by design? could well have been!). The map was an "amazing wonder" of a sort since the salt dough barely skimmed the surface of the eastern border of his map, and rose almost imperceptibly to a booming 1/2" on the western border! Easiest project ever!!!
Thanks Dotty! I absolutely love your memory. Choosing Kansas for a relief map was brilliant! Simple shape...simple elevation....easy peasy. This made me laugh out loud!
DeleteTHIS is why it's so much fun to share stories here. Because when we share our stories...it triggers memories of our own stories. And if we share those stories....we spread joy. Thanks Dotty!
DeleteI am just catching up from being away from the computer on the weekend. The liberty statue in Colorado is exquisite! The Alaska photo is stunning! The mushroom rocks are so fun! I didn't know that existed so thanks to you, Cherie and Dale for the education!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to get away! So glad you're enjoying Cherie and Dale's journey too. We are all learning a lot! And yes! Isn't that sunset spectacular!
