Great shot...

The cloud shadows and breaks give dramatic depth to your scene!

I’m usually allergic to the 1000+ pollen count common to the Sniffles Range in northwest GA in the springtime....

Well, I didn’t take it, but it is a great shot.

If I’m not mistaken, looking toward Deep Creek and some big brown trout!! Outstanding fishing area.

There is a big following of people in Texas who go out to see the Mequites of Texas in their full Fall glory...but then it is Deer Season.

FYI...the Broom Weed is in full bloom to.

This is the view I have to tolerate on my drive to work. I climbed Mt. Sneffels (the tall jagged one in the middle) a few years back when I was a younger FReeper. Trouble is, the color looks a bit off. I think this one was photoshopped. The light green grass in the meadows simply does not exist in the fall.

I LOVE Colorado. My sister and husband moved from Larkspur to Orlando, FL for about a year and have now moved back. Thank GOD! The hot tub under the stars or in a snow storm by the red rock cliff beats anything from that humid, diseased, limestone sponge called Florida.
