3 Hidden Natural Wonders in the U.S.
May 6, 2021
In the morning of life, when its cares are unknown, And its pleasures in all their new lustre begin, When we live in a bright-beaming world of our own, And the light that surrounds us is all from within; Oh 'tis not, believe me, in that happy time We can love, as in hours of less transport we may; -- Of our smiles, of our hopes, 'tis the gay sunny prime, But affection is truest when these fade away.
When we see the first glory of youth pass us by, Like a leaf on the stream that will never return, When our cup, which had sparkled with pleasure so high, First tastes of the other, the dark-flowing urn; Then, then in the time when affection holds sway With a depth and a tenderness joy never knew; Love, nursed among pleasures, is faithless as they, But the love born of Sorrow, like Sorrow, is true.
In climes full of sunshine, though splendid the flowers, Their sighs have no freshness, their odour no worth; 'Tis the cloud and the mist of our own Isle of showers That call the rich spirit of fragrancy forth. So it is not 'mid splendour, prosperity, mirth, That the depth of Love's generous spirit appears; To the sunshine of smiles it may first owe its birth, But the soul of its sweetness is drawn out by tears.

Let’s Talk About Cricket
Cricket has been a prevalent sport in the subcontinent for a long time. It is something that the locals relate with to a great extent. Be it bowling, or batting, or fielding for a match. Interestingly, Cricket was introduced in this region from the British when they acted as colonizers. The locals picked up the sport and adopted it as if it were their own sport, thereby developing a strong conviction to it.
Experts agree that youngsters living in the Weald, a region of thick forests and clear

So, how many times have we been pushed to go to the Grand Canyon? Heck, how many times did we actually go to the Grand Canyon? And while, yeah, it was beautiful, sometimes what one needs is less of a cookie-cutter experience, beautiful as it may be. There’s nothing wrong with the tried and true, after all, it is both tried and true; yet, most of us do intuitively gravitate towards the idea of a singular, unreplicable experience. So why have that once-in-a-lifetime experience in a place everybody’s already been to? These are some of our favorite hidden gems in the U.S.
Multnomah Falls, Oregon

So this spot may not be entirely hidden but is amazing. It’s also a bit less crowded than most major touristy spots worth going to. We recommend heading up to the gorge a bit earlier than most would and could afford to do. You’ll get the entirety of Multnomah Falls to yourself. Which, obviously, is a good thing. Scratch that, it’s a great thing.
