If it is true that a picture is worth a thousand words, then a picture of a national
park must be worth at least five thousand. Never was this truer than in these
wonderful publications listed below. From the rocky coastline of Acadia to the
subtropical wilderness of the Everglades, these splendid images will bring to
life scenes from some of America's most precious natural resources. If you're
like me, you will draw inspiration from perusing these extraordinary photos
again and again, as they evoke memories of trips you have taken and call forth
new journeys to America's national parks. |
