This is just a tiny peek at the beauty that surrounds me every day:

I'm officially jealous now.

If I keep staring at these pics I won't get any work done!

Simply serene!

So beautful GPR! I'm hoping to move out of this dusty, hot Valley in the next year or so and it will either be up North or back to S.F. I miss 'green'

Great pictures GPR!

Thank you everyone! I love to share my photos with friends and family. Especially family like this that has never been able to see the beauty that surrounds me.
There is a trade off up here in Washington State though. We get quite a bit of rain. In a few short weeks these little creeks and rivers will be swollen to flood stage or beyond and really ugly! Last year I took a similar batch of photos, within 3 days the creeks and the rivers were well beyond their banks and causing major damage.

You've done it again GPR....so beautiful

 

[grandpawrichard]

Thank you Nana! I can't take the credit though. All I did was point the camera and push the shutter button. The Good Lord gets all the credit for the beauty in front of the lens!

Ha! I looked at all the pictures and THEN checked to see if I guessed right from where you are. I was right! Washington state is one of the most beautiful places on earth for sure. Virginia Blue Ridge comes close in the top 10 where I am

Dr. Bradley, my Botany professor would be so proud of me. =P
