Have your breath taken away...

This week PBS began a new series by filmmaker Ken Burns, "The National Parks: America's Best Idea".

I watched the first of the six episodes last night and the imagery was absolutely stunning, even my teenage girls who can't sit still for more than 3 seconds sat there hypnotized by what was unfolding on the screen.

It makes you want to grab your camera, throw some canned goods into a backpack, and head off to the closest national park.

If you would like to get a taste for what I'm talking about you can view online clips (full episodes and deleted scenes) here.
