Recommended: Rio grande body of water

Walking outside, smelling the wet grass and hearing the wildlife coming alive. Listening to the Rio Grande flowing away and the birds chirping away. Looking at the mountains with their snow tops and watching the sun rise over them. A day in paradise. This paradise for me would have to be none other than Colorado. Colorado is such a beautiful state. I would visit in a heartbeat. If I received a ticket to fly anywhere, Colorado would definitely be the place I would want to go. I am a outdoor fanatic and love anything outdoors. We went on a family vacation to Colorado a long time ago and I absolutely loved it. I can remember our cabin we stayed at being right on the Rio Grande.* I would always tend to fall asleep outside on the porch by accident

    1248 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, the author uses a number of techniques and devices to create images of particular landscapes that are both vivid and unique. Dillard’s language in descriptions of the landscape suggests space and shape, assigns color and likeness, and at times, implies motion and vitality. One particularly striking example of Dillard’s crafting the landscape occurs when she famously “pat[s] the puppy” (79) and becomes completely aware of her present sensory experiences, describing a mountain before her in such terms as these:

    Have you ever looked off a gigantic cliff? Now imagine traveling 30 miles per hour on a bike with curvy roads with enormous cliffs on your side with no rails. This is exactly what I did with my family when we went to Colorado. From the hotel we drove to a bike tour place to take us to the summit of Pikes Peak. After we arrived at the building we saw pictures of how massive the cliffs were, but what terrified me was the fact they had no side rails. This observation was thrilling as well as terrifying. It was an odd mix of emotions, but I loved the adrenaline rush it gave me. My dad whispered to me, “ This will be absolutely horrifying”.

    I live in a tribe of Native Americans who are located at the bottom of the Andes Mountains in the Peru area. Our village faces the ocean which is beautiful at sunset when the sun can be seen disappearing under the water. The orange red glow of the sun reflects off of the dark yet clear blue of the sea. There is a hidden place, even though people only find on accident, that has the best view of the breathtaking ocean. I love that place cause few people find it and if they do the despise it immediately. I call this place my special place because the colorful plants and trees are soothing.
