Friday Photo – Paradise Found

Posted on August 5, 2011 by

Can you feel it?  Today’s Friday photo was taken on my recent  road trip family vacation.  As my son said, ‘This place is an 11 year old’s playground paradise!”  I have to agree on the paradise part-it was a lot of work to get there, but so worth it!  Can you guess where we were?
Sometimes as I’m moving around in my day, an image gets stuck in my head that I can’t shake. Sometimes it conjures up a memory, a feeling, or provides an impulse to do something. Often, though, I just see something that I want to capture in my mind for no particular reason-it just speaks to me. I’d like to offer these images up for ‘thought contributions’-as a way to generate a community of ideas together.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this ‘Paradise Found’ – leave me a comment!  Where is your ‘paradise’?

    What a nice picture. My paradise is a small town in central Washington that my family visits every July! I call it one week in paradise.

    Thanks for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop!

    What a beautiful picture! Thank you for sharing it with us!

    Currently my paradise (since I haven’t been on a vacation in nearly 10 years) is my new inground pool in my backyard. We just moved into the house in May so having a pool…with a stone waterfall…is a whole new experience for me! I go back there, close my eyes and try to forget I’m in my backyard. LOL!

    Thanks, Michael Ann! I love Hawaii, too, but I don’t think I could live there myself…

    Love your Photo Fridays! When I think of paradise I think of Hawaii. I have traveled a lot, but Hawaii is the only tropical place I have been, and I must say I find that type of beauty more incredible than any other I have seen. My husband and I went to Kauai for our honeymoon and I fell in love with it. I honestly would move there in a heartbeat if…well, you know. It’s a completely different way of life in Hawaii. A way of life I would have no problems adapting to! 🙂
