Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures. My son loves your part of the country.
Great pics, as usual.
Quite the variety!
Hey Shannon,
A blooming marvellous post. I really like your photos.
A short story contest. I could do that. Heck, I wonder if a one word sentence would be good enough.
You have noted my summer landscape. Lush and green. Have a real nice weekend, Shannon.
Gary :)
I love the photography - especially the fifth one!
