I know the thrill of the grasses when the rain pours over them.
I know the trembling of the leaves when the winds sweep through them.
I know what the white clover felt as it held a drop of dew pressed close in its beauteousness.
I know the quivering of the fragrant petals at the touch of the pollen-legged bees.
I know what the stream said to the dipping willows, and what the moon said to the sweet lavender.
I know what the stars said when they came stealthily down and crept fondly into the tops of the trees.
~Muriel Strode, “Creation Songs”

Day 124 – 11.1.09 Busch Gardens, Williamsburg Virginia
At first Busch Gardens Williamsburg was the main reason for our birthday destination but it wasn’t long before a destination became a journey. We had been to the African World of Busch Gardens Tampa and wanted to check out the European version in Virginia. Of course it doesn’t compare to Tampa but it is still a beautiful park and we had a lot of fun.
Howl-O-Scream was really cool.

Day 111 – 10.19.09 Amana Colonies, Iowa
I first learned about the Amana Colonies on the way home from my last trip west in 2005. As a cultural geographer the prospect of visiting a former utopian communal society was exciting. I vowed to visit this community on my next trip west. So here I am, keeping my vow.
Amana, the first of seven community villages, was constructed in the mid 1850’s by the True Inspirationists. Amana was one of the longest lived communal societies.
