Hi Everyone...take a few minutes to absorb the beauty around us. These may not be scenes right outside your window or down the road. They may not be scenes from anywhere you've traveled to; but they are there nonetheless. They may only have been in your dreams, where they are somehow amazingly abundant...and they take your breath away. They take us to places some of us probably won't ever see in person...or at least not likely. For those out there who have seen the likes of such beauty...you are fortunate to be able to call upon those scenes whenever you wish. For those of us who only visit them in our dreams....may we dream on forever. ~Joy
Are you absorbing?
Yes, all seven colors of light. ROY G BIV, remember that?

Joy,
Whenever I see the beautiful colors of Nature I think of the time before colors had names. I can picture the King or Queen telling the Royal Seamtress " I want a gown the color of that tree right there!" OR "That leaf is what I want my robe to look like." Then dyes were mixed and colors were named.
The colors in your photos are spectacular . Thanks for posting them. What a treat.....

Amazing scenery Joy, nature dwarfs the best of the painters amongst us.

Joy, those pictures are achingly beautiful. What luxury there is in looking at them? But your blog did remind me that in dreams some scenes are even more fantastic than these and if I went scurrying about to all the physical wonders on this planet, would I have dreams of a lesser pleasure? Not that I will ever know. But since there's so many delightful places I will never travel to, its satisfying to think so.

Oh my! I'm soooooooo glad Google Reader brought THIS post and these lovely photos to my attention! I'm making a mental note right now (and one in my Palm Life Drive so I don't forget) to check out what else I might have missed here at The Joy of Six before I entered this virtual world (as time permits). I thought the albino peacock was spectacular, but these pix are AMAZING! I'm still trying to catch my breath. Did you take them yourself?

I myself have taken walks along these trails before and never before have seen such beauty, this is the most spectacular pictures I have ever seen I have traveled around the world and have taken pictures of the beauty he creates and some created by man but who can compare anything to this.
