Glorious
Perhaps Grand is a more appropriate description for these towering, white mountains.

But Glorious is usually what my heart sings when we find a water fall.

Are water falls less glorious as the temperature drops and water freezes? I’d say they are still glorious and even wonderfully enchanting.

White Beachy Sand in Unusual Places
Growing up along the west coast area, I’d only known sands to exist on a beach with crashing waves. The ever changing tides, continuously moving the grains around.
Then, I finally made it to the White Sands National Monument located in New Mexico. Grand, pristine white sand dunes built up and broken down by the wind.

When I stumbled into this quote, I had to dig out my San Antonio Missions trip. I was sure there’d be a white shot to share; or, off-white in this case!
If time were a color, I bet it’d be a tasteful off-white.

The missions here have stood the test of time. Made from construction materials fabricated from nature and continue to withstand the force of nature.
Historical places providing a glimpse into life in another era and an impressive mind set to building techniques using the local resources around them. Over 100s of years, some structures still remain to teach, enrich, and even amaze. In the US, the San Antonio Mission Trails Historical Sites, provides one such glimpse into not just Texas History but also Christian and US history.

Wow, Cheryl, stunning whites found in nature! We are so close to Banff but still yet so far! What gorgeous images! The architecture of the Mission San Jose is quite beautiful!

Thanks Terri. I agree that Banff is so close yet seems so far especially these last couple of years. We do hope to return and see more of the area. And, San Antonio was such a neat place to visit. Great history with the river walk area downtown and then those missions and all the surrounding buildings that were still intact!

I agree that San Antonio is amazing–I’ve been there and walked the Riverwalk. We stopped at the Alamo and got a signed “western” book from a local author and gave it to my dad who is originally from Texas 🙂 I would love to go back some day!

I agree. The Mission Trails is quite interesting to visit. A couple of sites still have many other structures intact and you can really see how people lived there day to day.
