Feeling a bit stressed out these days? (The Beagle Channel Argentina).

Who isn’t? (Banff National Park Canada),

Let’s escape (Coastal Norway),

to peaceful places (Vancouver Island Canada),

and forget our worries (Zermatt Switzerland),

for awhile (Huahine French Polynesia).

I will do another peaceful images post after this (Yellowstone National Park),

because we all benefit from balancing negativity with peace and beauty (Grand Teton National Park).
Cheers to you and remember the beauty~

So beautiful and peaceful. Thank you.
Hugs to you and Happy Holidays Gigi დ
Love your wonderful and enchanting pictures.
Stay safe!
I am so glad you do and thank you! Be well my friend დ
Although I do love the mountains, Cindy, I’m think that French Polynesia would be my choice about now.
Leslie xoxo
Yes, the lesser visited islands are particularly enticing დ
I will keep that in mind…
You have been to so many spectacular, peaceful, and beautiful places, Cindy! Thank you for sharing them with us! 😍
Thank you for traveling along with me! You make the experience richer დ
Thank you, Cindy. So much needed!
You are most welcome Amy & Happy Holidays my friend დ
💖💗
Ahhhhh… breathing a sigh of relief. 🙂 Toss up here whether I would prefer to be at Glacier or in Polynesia, Cindy. Given the time of year, I’m leaning toward something tropical…. –Curt
I’m with you… beautiful! ❤️
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Merci beaucoup mon ami დ
Such beautiful landscape, Cindy! I would not mind escaping to any of them, or to all of them.
Very pleased you enjoyed and thank you my friend დ
What beautiful places to visit virtually! Thank you for such peaceful, scenes!
So happy you traveled along with me virtually Kathy & stay safe and well my friend დ
You’ve been places. 🙂
I try! დ
Such beautiful scenes. We all definitely need something to balance out all the negativity and concerns these days. Maybe I should put together my cutest kitten pictures for a different kind of escape!!
Please, please do, and whatever you do, make sure I don’t miss it somehow. Love to you and the kitties დ დ
Just posted, and linked back to you as well. Love to you and all yours as well!
I just saw it and commented. Catastically charming! They are heartbreakers, each and every one! Thank you my lovely friend for you kindness and compassion. I am lucky to know you დ დ
And I am luck to know you as well. Happy holidays, and here’s hoping you can resume travel in 2021 and I get lots more cute kittens to foster.
And maybe, I’ll adopt one….. If Herbert consents დ
Absolutely beautiful!
Ahh, thank you very much დ
🙂
(((HUG))) thank you!
Back 2UX2 დ
These are all peaceful, and very beautiful!
It’s been almost 40 years since I have seen Banf.
The first time I was in Banff, I was 14. It stays with you დ
Thank you for the escape to faroff lands. I needed it. Lately, when I think of escape, I think of Nova Scotia. Have you been there?
So funny you should ask. My paternal family settled there from the Uk. Yes I have been there. დ
What a coincidence! My maternal family settled there from the UK. My grandmother emmigrated to the US in 1924.
Maybe our ancestors were next door neighbors…..
Maybe! My ancestors settled in Economy Point in Colchester County.
I meant neighbors in the old country….. We’ll never know დ
🙂
Beautiful photos, dear Cindy! What a way to give us hope! Thank you!
Your kind comment gives me hope. Stay safe and well my friend დ
Thanks so much! Same to you, dear friend!
Ah, to see the world again. I spent Christmas in Zermatt four years ago with my niece and her now husband. It was wonderful. The Matterhorn is a delight in any light. Thanks for the memories. Happy holidays, Cindy, and the best for the coming year.
Visa versa 2UX2 Marie & stay safe and well my friend დ

All I could want is here. 💜
I am happy for you Lea დ

Hugs to you Val & thank you დ
Just thinking about seeing these places does my heart good.
You make me happy I posted them დ
☺️
Thanks for the beauty, Cindy – brought back beautiful memories of Banff and Vancouver Island on trip with my parents visiting me from Texas when I lived in Seattle. And of course, Yellowstone. A childhood trip and then several times as an adult. Amazing.
These places tap into lifelong memories for me too Sheila. Very special დ
So beautiful Cindy. You sure lucked out with Beagle Channel – we went out in rough weather that evolved into a raging storm by the time we got back to Ushuaia where it had been snowing! Didn’t see none of them beautiful mountains 🙁
Alison
Oh dear! We were supposed to return for a third time in January, but that is of course cancelled. On our second trip the mountains were obscured by clouds for our boat trip up the channel. Our kids came with us so it disappointing, but the sun did show up before we left. It is a stunning place, even in the clouds დ
Beautiful photos 🌺🌍🌻
Thanks much Nidhi & cheers დ
A fabulous tour of beauty spots to escape to, Cindy! Thanks for including Norway in this awesome company! 🙂 <3
Norway is beauty personified დ
You’re so gorgeous, Cindy! <3
Visa versa 2UX2 დ დ
Thank you for that gorgeous escape. I feel better already. ♥.
Awww, thank you Niki. I’m glad დ
Thanks Cindy..brings me back to the reality of travel
Yes. It seems forever since I have traveled…… დ
Wonderful images. Lovely memories of places I have visited… and hope for the future I will be able to visit some of the locations I haven’t yet seen in person! Best wishes to you!
Thank you very much and here’s wishing you visit all the places you dream to see. Happy Holidays დ
I only see one unifying them here: tempting. Beautiful, Cindy!
Thank you Mitch. Wishing you and your family all the blessings of The Christmas Season დ
You too, Cindy.
დ
Heavenly to escape a while through your stunning post images here … can I stay a while at Yellowstone Park? It’s just too beautiful and I need to catch my breath!😀
It must be wonderful there right now. Cold and snowy and no tourists! The fire at Old Faithful Lodge would feel wonderful დ დ
Those places look really peaceful. I wish I could be transported there without the hassle of airplanes and COVID. Thanks for sharing.
You and me both Beverly. Take good care my friend & Merry Christmas დ
Thank you, thank you for sharing such beauty. It is a feast for the eyes, and the soul.
Awww, you are so very welcome Jennie. Thank you for the light you shine in the world my friend დ

Hi Cindy, these pictures are incredible! Your shot of the Beagle Channel, in particular, looks like something out of a fantasy world.
Thank you Josh, most appreciated. The channel is a magical fantasy world, which is why we keep going back. We have been there three times and were supposed to be back in January but cancelled due to covid. Happy & Safe Holidays my friend დ
I hope you get to return to the channel soon! Happy & safe holidays to you, too 🙂
Thank you Josh. Wishing you Happy Holidays and a Happy & Healthy New Year! 🎅 ❄️ 🎁 🦌 ⛄ 👪 🎄
All of these places are different and anyway have something in common. Peaceful and relaxing!
Exactly what we need these stressful days. Stay safe & well დ
You do go to extremes around the globe, far North, far South. Fabulous of you to share.
Kind and thoughtful of you to say so Brenda. Stay safe and well my friend 🎅 ❄️ 🎁 🦌 ⛄ 👪 🎄
