Natural Wonders

 Hello! Today I have four amazing pictures of nature for you... as well as a bit about each location!

1) Lake Tahoe-- Lake Tahoe is located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and is the largest alpine lake in North America. It is also the second deepest lake at a depth of 1,645 ft.

2) Havasu Falls-- Havasu Falls is a waterfall in Arizona, located in the Grand Canyon! It is the most visited waterfall along Havasu Creek.

3) Hallerbos Forest-- Hallerbos Forest is a forest in Belgium covering 1,360 acres of land. Every spring for a couple of weeks, bluebell flowers form a carpet on the forest ground.

4) Vinicunca Mountain-- Vinicunca Mountain, also called Rainbow Mountain, is a spectacular mountain in Peru. It's vibrant stripes are caused by mineral composition and weathering.

I hope those four photos brought a smile to your day, because they certainly brought one to mine! Nature is full of natural wonders like these, and it was so fun to choose which ones to post!

Cleave

Hello! Sorry I have not posted in a while, I have been very busy with homework this year! Anyway, today I have a very weird word to share with you. Cleave. Cleave is one of my favorite words, and you will soon find out why. So, like I said, Cleave is a unusual word. Cleave can mean to bind or stick together, but also to split apart. Words like cleave are called contranyms, because they are their own opposites. Cleave is an interesting word to add to your vocabulary!
