OHIO "Buckey State"

 

OHIO
 

Thanks to marica sent Nov 14.2021

    Ohio, constituent state of the United States of America, on the northeastern edge of the Midwest region. Lake Erie lies on the north, Pennsylvania on the east, West Virginia and Kentucky on the southeast and south, Indiana on the west, and Michigan on the northwest. Ohio ranks 34th in terms of total area among the 50 states, and it is one of the smallest states west of the Appalachian Mountains. The state ranks near the top, however, in population. Ohio’s capital, after being located in Chillicothe and Zanesville during the early years of statehood, was finally established in newly founded and centrally located Columbus in 1816. The state takes its name from the Ohio River, which in turn traces its name to an Iroquoian word meaning “great water.”

The Legend of the Sand Dollar

The Legend of the Sand Dollar
 Thanks goes to Jason .

The Legend of the Sand Dollar
    THE SAND DOLLAR or HOLY GHOST SHELL is one of the most unusual specimens of marine life.
    The markings on the shell symbolize the Birth, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ.
    On the top side of the shell, an outline of the Easter Lily is clearly seen.
    At the center of the Lily a five pointed Star representing the Star of Bethlehem appears.
    The five narrow openings are representative of the four nail holes and the spear wound made in the body of Christ during the Crucifixion.
    Reversing the shell you will easily recognize the outline of the Christmas Poinsettia and also the Bell.
     When broken, inside the shell are five little birds called Doves of Peace.
     Some say they are the Angels that sang to the Shepherds the First Christmas Morning.

HAWAII


Thank you CONNIE for theis amzing shot of HAWAII , sent 03 JUN 2013.

    The Hawaiian Islands, the latest of the great Pacific archipelagos to be discovered (Cook, 1778), are as original in their physical aspects (a climate very favorable to man, enormous basaltic volcanoes such as Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world) as they are in their history, in the diversity of their population, and in their remarkable economic prosperity based on their integration into the United States, of which they have been the fiftieth (and only non-continental) state since 1959. The Hawaiian Islands, with a population of little more than one million, occupy a considerable geopolitical position at the beginning of the 21st century and are asserting themselves both as the nodal point of American influence in the Pacific and as a cultural bridge between East and West.

AROZONA THE GRAND CANYON STATE


Special Thanks to NORTHCOTE  for the map card sent 19 NOV.

    A land of Native American and Spanish origins before becoming a state of the United States, the word Arizona has different translations. In the Indian language Arizona translates to "little spring" and in Spanish Arizona comes from the Spanish árida zona, "dry area". The United States took Arizona from Mexico after the Mexican-American War in 1848; Arizona officially became the 48th state of the United States on February 14, 1912. Located in the southwestern part of the United States, let's discover the West!

    One of the most famous sites in this vast region is the Grand Canyon. It was dug with the current of the Colorado River. It has an average depth of 1 300m and a width ranging from 5.5 to 30 km. These dimensions make it one of the most impressive sites in Arizona.

The City of Phoenix

    Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, is a city with a peaceful atmosphere and a dry, warm climate. Its proximity to the Sonora Desert and its temperatures have earned it the nickname "Sun City".

    This (state) capital has many cultural sites to visit but also a lot of activities.

    The must-see park in the city is Papago Park. It offers several activities such as the Desert Botanical Garden (21,000 plants), the famous Phoenix Zoo, as well as a huge golf course, this site has something to delight the whole family!

    The city of Phoenix has several museums, but the most popular museums are the Heard Museum (Native American arts) and the Phoenix Art Museum.

    There are also many sports activities to enjoy with family and friends. For the more athletic, Mount Camelback is a must-see. Rising to 825 meters, it is part of the Echo Canyon recreational area but is reserved for experienced climbers!

    Let's not forget one last heritage... gastronomic this time: the cuisine! Indeed, because of its history and the strong Hispanic presence, the city of Phoenix offers a large choice of restaurants and cuisines. Take advantage of a lunch break to taste the authentic Mexican cuisine for example, but beware of the spices!
