I shot this picture of the sunrise this morning over the mountains - thought someone might enjoy it. Lovin' the sunshine!

This morning in the Mission Valley...we have nice sunrises too (view from our breakfast table)! and Kim, thanks for hosting our meeting and the great food! You have a beautiful home and aquarium. KevinD

Thats it torture the parrot,

we get so-so sunrises, but nothing like ya'all get

[lostcreekreefer]

Thats it torture the parrot

Why would we do that?

[Parrothead]

Because you can;););)

You all got the mountains, the rivers, trees(other than palm trees), the wildlife, and after seeing some of your pics I say that in more ways than 1

But to be on the fair side I've got something ya'all don't

Check this out, it's the last night launch of the current shuttle program......

Fair is Fair

Unfortunately, I was not the shooter, oh well

[lostcreekreefer]

Because you can;););)

Maybe we are just super ornery up this way! No, not really, just thankful for what we have. I'd love to go scuba/snorkeling right about now...can't do THAT here, this time of year (Flathead Lake is about done thawing at this point).

Oh my gosh - that is a spectacular picture Parrothead! Looks to be a long exposure too as I can see some star trails in there as well as the long shuttle tail. The photographer is good. Yup, that's a trump pic there. Thanks for sharing. See - you do have some cool stuff there.

What a gorgeous view from your home - love the pinks and purples in there. You do have a very pretty area. So, do you find yourself grabbing the camera every time the sky does something neat, or you find a critter in your yard? I sure do!

[lostcreekreefer]

Kim- You have a great view from where you are, for sure! The camera - exactly! - I just love the digital camera, just grab it when there's a good shot. I even stop when driving sometimes for good pictures, too! We have pictures (& video) of deer, both black & grizzly bear & turkeys literally in the yard, less than 30 yards from the house. We had a griz boar on the place 2 falls ago. He stayed for 3 weeks, pretty well curtailed outside activity until he left the area (as in he ate all of the apples on out few trees). We go for hikes above our place (UP-hill) and have seen cougar, lynx, bobcat, wolf and elk tracks, have seen the cougars & elk for real & personal. The cat was not so cool, but he was scared worse than the people and took off!

Kim,

Thank you, this is what I'm talking about, I lived in Nampa ID from 72 - 76, 4 of the best years of my life as a kid, I want my 2 girls to see that kind of stuff, and to actually grow up around it, gotta do it quick they are currently 11 and 14, I do miss the northwest......Florida isn't what it use to be, believe me on that one.

You all are in Gods country........

[Parrothead]

oh, and I hope ya'all don't mind but I'm saving the pics to my hard drive to use as desktops, helps keep me normal, well as normal as a reefer can be

Thanks for the pics, please don't stop
