"From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam..."
Recognize that song lyric? America's landscape is so vast and varied, sometimes it's mind blowing to think about how many different types of unique scenery exist from one state or region to the next.
Summer is the season for celebrating America -- from Memorial Day to the Fourth of July to Labor Day -- so why not take a moment and admire the natural beauty of the 50 states?
