The Beauty Around Us - #MFRWauthor

Welcome back to another week of the #MFRWauthor blog hop. In week 17 we talked about our top five places we'd like to visit. This week we're discussing the most beautiful place we've seen.

I've not done a lot of traveling in my life. When I was in high school I went to London with the high school band. It was nice, but we were there in January so it was cold and gray.

When I got married, we went to Jamaica for our honeymoon. The resort was beautiful. The beaches were straight off a postcard. The tropical surroundings couldn't be beat.

That is sort of the extent of my traveling abroad. I'm pretty much a homebody for the most part. There are tons of places I'd love to see, all of them I have no doubt will be breathtaking should I ever get to visit.

The one place I have gone to a lot since marriage is Arizona. My husband's family is from there, so we travel to go see them. I'm a born and raised Georgia girl, so going to a landscape so different from what I'm used to I loved. And still love to this day.

I know some people look that the desert, the dry, dusty, and sometimes barren landscape and see just that. To me though it's beautiful Surviving in climates such as that isn't easy on the plant life or the animal life, but they find a way.

it's probably the most green grass you'll see at any given time. However beyond that, off in the distance they have a stunning view of mountains. At night, when the sun is setting, I like to sit on their back patio and just enjoy the moment. They have a very quiet neighborhood. Being that hot, kids don't play outside all that often. By the time it cools off, well it's late so they remain inside.

I enjoy going to visit there. A lot of people think I'm crazy when I say that, but it's true. Even in temps well over 100 degrees, still I love it. I've told my husband I wouldn't mind moving there if his work would allow it.

One year we took a trip to the Grand Canyon and traveled through Sedona.

 I've been going to Arizona for a lot of years and that by far was my favorite trip. That place is stunning. The red rock stands out. Seeing something like that truly makes you appreciate nature and all the hidden beauty it contains. Again some may look at it and see dry nothingness, but I look at it all in wonder.

So there you have it. The most beautiful place I've seen would be Arizona, Sedona, Arizona to be more specific. I've told my husband on our next trip out to see his family I want to go there again for an overnight stay.

So what about you? What's the most beautiful place you've ever seen? Be sure to stop by the other authors on this hop to see what they have to say.
