Horizons are both visual and representational, drawing our attention in a mesmerizing fashion.  For this week’s theme for photo sharing on Twitter, I selected several images…especially because I live both coastal-y and mountain-ly. 🙂  And with my hiking, I’m often gazing out over gorgeous horizons and snapping photos to both share and try – sometimes in vain – to capture the serenity of the moments.

Some horizons are close in:

Some take work to get to:

Some new horizons are discovered on our travels (thank you #Blogville and Right Path Adventures!) :

It’s always nice to sail into an inviting horizon:

So you see, they come in many forms.  What kind of horizons are stretching out before you?  Make sure to enjoy the journey.
