Landmark 5/25

@ Fair Mystery
While Asia was whistling through her teeth as they ambled through another breathtaking scene, Lalique was secretly wishing she had packed ear plugs, or gaffer tape for Asia's mug!
Fair Mystery
It's at night when some plants and flowers give off their most intense scent, or perhaps it's also that after the air has cleared from the clamour of the day, we have more chance of detecting their perfume. Breathing deeply in a pine forest has proven benefits to the lungs!

@ Galloway Falls
After months of planning, Asia and Caroline Piper finally agreed on where they would travel together, and they are both secretly please with their choice!
Galloway Falls
Have you ever felt a sense of joy as you stand next to an awe-inspiring waterfall? It is said that waterfalls can make us happy. Even though some might dismiss this as an old pets’ tale, there does seem to be some scientific thinking behind the theory that waterfalls generate positive vibes. Waterfalls are considered to be one giant ion generator— the watery downpour gives off negative ions, which we take in as positive energy. Once the negative ions reach our bloodstream, they are said to increase our bodies’ production of serotonin, which is the chemical responsible for relieving stress and depression, and for boosting our energy and happiness. So it’s not surprising we might feel so great when we’re around waterfalls!

Ripening Harvest
We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land.
But it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand.
He sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain.

@ Forbidden Mesa
Whoa! I never thought I would be able to visit here! exclaimed Asia! This is amazing!

Landmark 15/25

@ Elfin Glitter Cove
Asia asked fiffy if she had a fur clip on her, as Asia wanted to fashion a fishing pole and stop to dangle a line...?
