List Making

 

I am a tremendous list-maker. Almost every morning (for decades) I review my list from the day before and reprioritize. I generally add a few new items, cross off a few that no longer need doing/have been done and then try to do at least a few of the most pressing on the list. But, as I've written before I don't have a bucket list. There are a number of things I'd like to do, but I don't have my demise as the literal "deadline." 

I also don't pay much attention to lists that I find on-line. You know the lists of the ten "top" beaches in the world or the most beautiful gardens. Until I went to Victoria Falls last month, I hadn't looked at the list of the Seven Wonders of the World since grade school. There are several (at least) lists of the wonders of the world and on every list of the natural wonders, Victoria Falls appears. I didn't consult a list before I traveled, but so glad that my travels took me to this wonder. It's an extraordinary sight, especially as our group saw it in all its misty splendor with a rainbow. 

The Majesty of the Falls

I've taken thousands of photographs and hope to take thousands more in the years to come. But I don't anticipate that any will surpass in awe and delight of the rainbow at Victoria Falls last month. Adjectives -- awesome, fabulous, extraordinary -- all fail to capture the vision that was in front of me and now lives only in photograph and memory. I also took a helicopter trip over that Falls, but that epic adventure deserves a post of its own. 

I couldn't imagine the sight beyond this entrance gate. 

Since we're in Victoria Falls I'm happy to inform the winners of the Victoria Falls giveaway. The change purses made there will be going to Donna and to 16 Blessings Mom. I will be in touch for addresses and will make a trip to the post office next week. 

I'm glad that you're enjoying the trip posts. I'm equally enjoying going through my photographs and reliving some of my favorite moments. 

As ever, thanks for viewing and have a sweet summer afternoon.
