#tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude

I love to listen to relaxing sounds when reading, especially those that involve nature (rain sounds are a favorite). My new passion are the albums on the National Parks with beautiful musical tones as well as sounds from the parks themselves. The albums are all available on AppleMusic and Spotify, and I created a playlist on Spotify if you're interested. Here's the shortened link:

dabbe Some places include: Acadia, Alaska, American Rivers, Blue Ridge Mountains, California Coast, Canadian Rockies, Carlsbad Caverns, Everglades, Grand Canyon, Glacier Lakes, Great Smoky Mountains, The Desert, Monterey Bay, The Northwest, The Rocky Mountains, etc. ... 3mo
Kerrbearlib I‘m going to check these albums out- thanks for sharing! 3mo
dabbe @Kerrbearlib They're my new fave ... I have the entire playlist running all day through my Sonos. I hope you like them! 🩵💙🩵 3mo

Suet624 Oh my gosh! Thank you for this playlist. I like listening to nature sounds, especially in winter when the snow is coming down outside my window. 3mo
dabbe @Suet624 You're welcome! I'm playing it right now! 🩶🧡🩶 3mo
TieDyeDude That's cool. I never thought to listen to ambient sounds before. I'll have to give that a try. Stacy doesn't like listening to music while reading, so that could be a compromise. 3mo
dabbe @TieDyeDude I hope she likes it! 🤩 3mo

I don‘t recall how this book got on my radar, but I‘m grateful it did. I love nature and National Parks are the embodiment of preserving our magnificent pieces of land and monuments. Don‘t be misled, this book is not a guide to the National Parks. It‘s a fascinating history of the establishment of the park system, dating back to the late 1800‘s.

Thanks for the tag @TheAromaofBooks

1. Lots if I take my tablet
2. Yes, I usually take a physical book. But it all depends where I'm traveling to.

We listened to this book from Nevada to Montana and through Yellowstone. It was super entertaining, thought provoking and well narrated.

Mamiespal My hubs and I are obsessed with vacationing in the national parks. I'm definitely going to pick this up this weekend! 9y
