To Treat One's Own Country As A Foreign Land
The more I travel, the more I want to see...it is a never ending cycle. Regardless, here are a few of my favorite snaps from my road trip which is now at an end although I am still longing for more. From geysers to antelope this is the Midwest (and Pacific Northwest) with its vast sky and seemingly endless possibilities.

These are amazing! They capture the midwest perfectly. Definitely makes me want to hit the road--not that I didn't already, haha.
Amazing photos!The first one is breath-taking!!!
oh wow! you saw some really magnificent stuff! I'd love to explore the midwest! All I did was drive though Indiana if that counts!
Great post!
absolutely beautiful! seems like you had a pretty amazing time.
traveling can be an expensive addiction but is always worth it :]
After my nationwide RV trip in 2007, I am so amazed by the beauty of this nation. It really is quite incredible. I think a lot of people miss out nowadays by flying to and fro, instead of making cross country treks in the old days. One really comes to understand the beauty of America when they take roadtrips. I was blown away by the geological wonders of Yellowstone. Did you go to the Lewis and Clark Caverns? They were really interesting as well. You get to hike deep into the earth and see things like phosphorescent glowing rocks and enormous stalagmites and stalagtites. Incredible!
AMAZING photos my darling! ^^
Love the photos.You have amazing photo skills.
America really is beautifil.I hope I'll visit it someday !
These pictures are truly amazing, I love them. They capture so much. What camera do you use?
xxxx
These are really beautiful snaps - makes me crave a road trip!
Gorgeous snaps! And you saw a buffalo!!
looks like you had a really nice trip. it's good to have that urge to always want to see more. personally, if i don't get to travel at least every 2 months, i start to feel stuck in life, so i make a point of getting away as much as i can - even if it's for just a day.

ROAD TRIP! Sweet. I've always wanted to road trip across Canada.
I do like the landscape photos!!!!!!!you are so lucky that you have been in so many places....
(including Greece of cource)!!!!
Mt. Rushmore! I've wanted to visit the place since I watched North by Northwest when I was almost a child!
Nice pictures!
Gorgeous photos!! You really captured the natural beauty! Wish I could travel soon :-) xxoxoxo
Wow! It looks like you had an amazing road trip. These pictures are gorgeous! The waterfall is breathtaking!
There really is so much to see. I love your title, because there really is so much to see and do in this country. It astounds me how many people have hardly been out of their own state!
Road trips really are the best way to discover this land of "vast sky and seemingly endless possibilities." :)

God Bless America! It is one of my dreams to do a one year road trip across your beautiful nation - thank you for these wonderful photos!
All your photos are beautiful! I especially love the image of the yellow flower - I can't decide if it's happy or sad.
Traveling can definitely be fun and it looks like you had a blast.

Your travel pictures are wonderful, makes me want to travel in the US, you got a lot of beautiful landscapes :) The photo of the dead trees is my favourite and the geyser too it's really impressive !
Amazing photos as always. Love the geyser one, particularly.
Awesome! I love the geyser one! So amazing. And the yellow flower. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
The third and last shots are so incredibly beautiful. I so wish I could just sit in the car and drive out of the city. Hope you're having a gorgeous day dear :)
gorgeous photography and I love that you went to Mt. Rushmore - that's one of the only national landmarks I yet to visit.
glad you enjoyed the trip!
wow! that fist picture and the waterfall picture are epic!
Wow, I didn't realize these were all your photos until I scrolled down, absolutely GORGEOUS, Rebecca! I LOVE travelling too, if I could (time/money), I would just keep seeing the world, its arquitecture/people/landscape/culture...so so beautiful & fascinating! :)

Beautiful pictures!
Gosh, you really take outstanding photos. You're getting better and better!
How long are you travelling around for?
oh man, i wanna travel so ad. I HATE being broke and unemployed. Curse this job market. *sigh* well at least these breathtaking photos help me through till I can. Thank you!
So so so beautiful, love your pics. <3
I've never seen most the US nature landmarks, I should go!
Wow! Amazing road trip and equally amazing photos!
Stunning photos !! The waterfalls are really pretty .
I've not been on a roadtrip before but I do now :)
I think it was about Wyoming (or the eastern part of Montana) when I started seeing antelope. That is also when I started singing "Home On the Range" and the boy got quite annoyed with me. As you know, there are no antelope in Washington State, and therefore they seemed like such a novelty to me!
Breathtaking photos. They definitely tell the story of great road trip. I love how much there is to see here at home. The thought of taking a cross country trip one day thrills me to no end.
ahh this is really cool. it looks like you had such an amazing time. i would love to go on a road trip. it'd be so much fun.
My god! beautifull places.
I love your photos.
Its so true, the more you travel, more you want to see. very true.
thanks for visit my blog and for your summer recomendation!
I like the spectrum of photos you posted. Seems so peaceful and...fresh. Makes me yearn to road trip soon soon.
oh my god, i cant believe you saw an actual buffalo! this is so wild, i love it. i love your photographs as always.
The photos are great! It looks like such a great roadtrip getting to see the things you saw.
Gorgeous photographs! I especially loved the elongated shots... miss being on holiday's now. :)
Mt. Rushmore is one of the weirdest things....
Oh, great captures! I really want to visit Mt. Rushmore someday.
Mt. Rushmore looks amazing! All of these pictures do. Oh, and your title is brilliant.
Hi how are you?
I was looking through your blog, and I found it interesting, and inspiring to me, so I thought why not leave you a comment.
I too have a blog that I use out of Southern California here in San Diego.
Mostly it is a collection of artistic expression, and I have many friends with the same interests, maybe you can become my friend, and follow, and I can also follow you, if that is okay.
Well I hope to hear from you soon, and or read about you….LOL
Sincerely,
Jesse Noe
