Big Bend Morning

Une atmosphère de rêve...C'est magnifique.

A beautiful sunrise series, Ron.

Sun rays falling on high clouds
The two trees will fall asleep too
Great, Ron
Have a nice Sunday

magnifique !! Une belle atmosphère bien rendue

Un ciel a couper le souffle

Very moody image Ron

Bonito amanecer. Necesitamos un nuevo amanecer!.

The whole color palette !

*falls over* Oh Ron, these pictures are droolyiciously marvelous! What eye-candy! Love them all...that sky is just sensational! At times like that, one must just stand there and drink it all in with wonder and reverie, no? :) Oddly enough, I haven't taken any sunset/rise pictures this trip! When I awaken, the sun is up already and we've been busy with dinner or other things when the sun's set. Heh...will have to work that into our agenda I think! :D

Oh Ron, tysm for your grand compliments on my blue jay pictures! You make me feel like a NG photographer, but heh...I'm not worthy! I am so happy that you love them though, talk about making my day!! *big hugs* I try not to focus on the faults of my pictures, so thanks for your enthusiasm! :) I was sure delighted to get pictures of a sunning bird...I've never even seen this behavior in person before so I am really happy about that picture! :D (It's actually through a screen in the window but still turned out well--I have others above the screen but the angle isn't as nice so I went for the picture in the main image)

Wow, the trio of lovely choices for you to visit have me bouncing up and down...we've not been to any of them but would dearly love to--we've driven past Ollympia a couple of times now and man oh man do I want to see that place. And the others--Ranier and Helens--are places we have on our list too! Hopefully you can see them all on your trip, fun times ahead! :)

Oh man...you're training with a full pack...UGH! I am a total wimp when it comes to carrying stuff. My forward motion slows to a snail's pace and all the while I am not at all happy with the load. Add variable terrain and Janet is a Unhappy Camper! :D Kudos to you for that amazing endurance!

Glad you're enjoying your lovely little grandchild, it's got to be an amazing experience with every addition to the brood! :)

Finally, it's achingly sad about poor, dear Neal. What an absolute bummer. And the fact that he cannot fully understand it all makes it worse. I'm so sorry for all of you in this sad situation.

Well, I'm off...Steve and I are going to drive out to the lighthouse and then go rockhounding on the beach...we found zillions yesterday but now we're really fired up for a proper hunt!

BUT YOU WERE STIL IN A BEAUTIFUL PLACE... MAKES ALOT OF DIFFERENCE

Quel beau ciel de rêve....si merveilleux **************

Schöne Stimmung Aufnahmen !

Wonderful colors.
