We recently "road tripped" to a city we'd never been to before.
While we spent most of our time in meetings inside a hotel that was like a small city,
I saw enough to know I'd love to come back and explore the real city.
We traveled over and around mountains to get there, and are thankful for safety
all along the way. After our long, hot summer, the cooler air and cloudy/rainy days
as we headed north were welcomed though it took me awhile to "cool down."
There were hints of changing leaves especially in the mountains,
and when we returned home the air was cooler than when we left.
Fall is on it's way!
Alway good to go somewhere new.

Hmmm...where could you have been? I find it amazing that there is so much blush on the trees when it is so green in my corner. Looks as if it will be a beautiful autumn.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you are finally getting a little cooler, Dotsie. It's nice to go away and discover new beauty. I love the photo from the mountain overlooking the winding river below. ♥
ReplyDeleteI can see why you would want to go back and explore more...
ReplyDeleteHello, it is always nice to visit new places. The scenery is lovely, the view of the water is beautiful! Happy Monday, enjoy the new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views indeed - no wonder you enjoyed! We have had a fantastic autumn so far. Feels so nice after chilly and rainy summer.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and restful. Looks like a very nice road trip.
ReplyDeleteRoad trips are a great way to see new places and it looks and sounds as if you had a really good time, but where did you go?? Where is Bean Station?
ReplyDeleteHappy MM.
Your photos always catch the spirit of a place. What a gift you have, friend. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely trip, and cooler weather is so welcome when the heat of summer lingers. Beautiful photos, Dotsie!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing...where did you go? Looks beautiful! Can't wait for some cooler weather soon! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful scenery on your road trip! How refreshing to return to cooler weather. (It's been a long time coming!)
ReplyDeleteHappy fall!!
What beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to be "on the road again"! You saw some very beautiful scenery! The best part of autumn besides all the colorful tree leaves is the cooler temperatures. It was such a hot and dry summer here!
ReplyDeleteDotsie, It's always nice to travel and explore new places. Thanks for sharing. Sylvia D.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it would be a very nice place to scout around a bit. We enjoy going new places, but it has been a while for us. So nice to catch up with you again~
ReplyDeleteI adore road trips, and seeing new things! We've had a blush of color on the trees in our area since last month and now some are really beginning to turn. I love this time of year!
ReplyDeleteGlad you all are finally cooling down and able to enjoy the season!
I love road trips and seeing new places! What a wonderful change in our weather, huh?
ReplyDeletePodso,
ReplyDeleteI, too, enjoy driving (riding)through the countryside in the early Autumn!
Autumn is my favorite Season as the hues of grasses, shrubs, trees and our earth
make one final glorious show of color before the onset of Winter!
Beautiful countryside photos, dear friend!
Fondly,
Pat
