“A mind is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” – Oliver Wendle Holmes

Do you have a travel bucket list? I do. I have a list of places I would like to visit inside and outside of the United States. In the U.S. I want to go out west, see the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, Niagara Fall and the Pacific Northwest. Most of my travel has been in the Southeastern United States, and I have traveled some to Mexico and Central America. I have some places in Europe I want to check out too. If you love to travel, it’s important to have goals. I have been saving my money for the last few years, and l already have a great camera ready to photograph the adventure. My plan is set.

While I can’t drop what I am doing and head out west today, I can enjoy where I am right now. I try to enjoy my city as often as I can. You have to appreciate where you are. I take advantage when I can. I took these shots of Uptown Charlotte a few days ago. I found this spot near First Ward Park that has a unique view of the city.
