Great photos, oh how I'd love to visit America some day.. The scenery, the little old mining towns long devoid of human habitation, the spectacular mountains and forests filled with all sorts of wildlife, some dangerous, some not so much.. Yellowstone Park (bucket list)... Such a wonderful place that I've dreamt of visiting since I was a child.. I'm 41 now, my two kids have grown, one's working the youngest is in Trinity college studying to be a midwife so they're busy.. Its the perfect time for the trip of a lifetime except for 1 thing.... Bloody covid hits and can't travel anywhere... Hopefully someday soon all this madness will be over and I'll get to fulfill my dream.. I just hope it's the same America we all grew up loving... In the meantime would you mind me following you to see more of your beautiful photos, Cheryl xx
