I have no related comment to make and can't think of anything unrelated.

That's an awesome view. Nothing outside for me right now - too hot and humid here.
This is a great list! two bookmarked right now. Gotta go :)
Great view! Thanks for sharing all of the links.
We love hiking, especially in Sedona,AZ but we enjoy views from all over and you had quite a lovely view.
We spent the past weekend 'hiking' through Washington D.C. and it was wonderful. Being a former Social Studies teacher I was in heaven :)

Hey Shannon,
Have you missed me? Yes? No? Who is this person?
Right then, time to delight you with one of my highly cherished comments.
I had no idea Helen Hunt had a falls named after her. Did you know in British Columbia there is a "Shannon Falls"? It's true and I wonder...
Links are neat. Although I leave links to real writers. I'm but a shy, unassuming amateur and love it!
I've been out all week signing autographs to my adoring fans in England. It has been incredibly hot and sunny. Am I really in England.
A good weekend to you, Shannon.
Your starstruck fan,
Gary
Sonia, no problem!
Andrew, aw, thanks for stopping by, anyway.
Alex, it was surprisingly humid up in Estes Park due to "monsoon" season. Crazy! It looks like we're stuck inside this week due to daily rain and coooooold weather.
Mardra, yes! Good luck!
Susanne, thank you!
Oh, Lucy, I bet! We went to D.C. and only got to spend two days in the city, most of that just meeting up with friends. We want to go back and hit all the museums, maybe stay close to the mall.
Gary, I saw something about the oddly warm weather! Still going on? We here in the desert seemed to have received your weather. It's cool and drizzly (by cool I mean 60's and 70's for part of the week in the middle of July!!).
The Helen Hunt these falls are named after is actually Helen Hunt Jackson, an author and advocate for Native Americans way back in the day (late 1800's or 1900's, I think??). Remarkable woman.
I had no idea there was a falls named after me. How nice of the B.C.'ans! Haha, there is actually a river, city, airport, etc. named after me in Ireland. I don't know how they knew I'd be born and managed to name it all for me well before I or even my parents existed, but what can I say? ;)
Hi Sonia, I can't seem to get to a blog or website for you from here. I'd love to return your visit!
Looks like a beautiful view, but I bet pictures don't really do it justice...
Olala some erotica links. Too bad that is way out of my comfort zone >.<
