I got this idea from a post I read by SoulWeaver.I dedicate this thread to Galahad, who is anxiously waiting for me to produce it. He told me "you better make it", lol.. So here it is. The title is self-explanatory, I want you to post your state's foliage, and/ or products that your state is famous for.

blue ladybug,
Thank you. Thank you very much. You knew and remembered from my posts in a similar thread that I tremendously enjoy, prize, and even find comfort from such pictures as you post in this thread. I give you a heartfelt thanks.
I know others will be inspired by this thread. Some will actually stroll and linger, as the Father's world of surprising breezes, which tease branches and leaves in their dilemma, of mortality's destiny to be, to be a searcher for discovery, of infinite blue, whose perpetual presence presents the invisible and raises high our hearts and our hopes into eternity. There we seek His face. Some will visit again those long-ago now shrouded joys and sorrows they knew. The doing of God is alive and is all about us, even a thousand trees aligned are rooted deep, unmovable, hospitable to all. A bridge will escort some folks over isolated rivers, subtle, untouchable. How wonderful is our Father's world. So grand. Even a picture, a photo to not let it pass away into the changes of time.
Thank you blueladybug.
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoy these pictures. They're breath-taking to look at, especially when you know it was God's hands that gave the trees and mountains their wonderful colors.

Since you see a lot of those things daily, do you still find yourself taking in all that beauty? Living there, you experience the change in weather, the good and the bad of people, the costs, the joys and the hardships. I don't live there. I only see spectacular things.

Yes it's always fascinating to see the different places. In my younger days I did a lot of cycling and have explored a lot of yorkshire on bicycle.
I love history and have an insatiable curiosity to know how people use to live for example. So all those old abbeys, buildings, stateley homes, cobbled streets etc are like dipping into jar of sweets and seeing what comes out. There are so many historic places I was a bit spoilt for choice as to which to include. One place I didn't have time to include is called Harewood House (try googling it). It is a large stately house and bird garden with extensive ornamental gardens and lakes. In the house is a working servants kitchen and you can go and see how food was prepared, how the kitchen maids and servants lived and see all the old utensils, cooking stoves, old wooden tables, pots, pans etc which were used and get a real feel for how it was in years gone by.
Then there is the natural element (rather then the made made element) the great outdoors. Which can look so tranquil when the weather is good but also can be rugged and harsh when the weather is bad. But which has its own beauty with the changing seasons. Wouldn't want to be out on the moors though when the weather is bad, not unless you like hypothermia!
i included some photos concerning the Bronte sisters. All around that area is rugged moorland and you can really see what influenced them in their writings.
Then there is also the spooky. There is a coastal time in Yorkshire called Whitby and on a hill overlooking the town is Whitby Abbey which was the inspiration for Bram Stokers Dracula. It attracts a lot of Goths! It is a strange place even if you are not aware of its claim to fame, it has a strange feel about it.
I think places can have atmospheres both for good and bad.
The towns and cities are as built up as any human inhabitation and have the good and bad elements common to any major cities. Though as the UK is small it is only a short bus ride or drive to reach the beauty spots/rural areas.
I'm sure the USA has many fascinating places too.

Miri,
Thank you for those pictures. They are great. Oh, that narrow walk between the shops, and those dandy signs. Love it. Leaves little excuse for failing to greet with a friendly smile those who go by.
You are fortunate to live with such beauty before you. I have many blessings, but you know, I live in the city. It's all concrete and pavement. Not exaggerating. Want a change of scenery? Go to the beach. Okay. About an hour. Then it will be crowded, dirty, and parking $10! Not complaining. Our sky is smog. Our sounds are traffic. Our sights are restaurants, restaurants, fast food, malls, gas stations. But it could be worse.
Thank you so much for sharing. Will google that house.
