Just more pictures…
Of me and my younger daughter, Mollie.
Just a short drive inland from those Southern California white-sand beaches, past the palm trees waving in the warm breeze, you see snow covered mountains looming in the distance.
Goodbye, traffic and smog.
Hello, snowy peaks!
Hello, fresh air.
Hello, magical alpine wilderness.
Hello, spectacular vistas.
Hello, small, rocky island in an icy lake.
Hard to believe that a few short minutes before, we were still down there…
… looking up at those mountains…
And if, on your way, you just happen to drive past some hills covered with an eruption of flowers, well, so much the better, right?
Pouring My Art Out 
As always, Mollie is gorgeous! The flowers are beautiful! And you keep messing things up by appearing in the photos. 🙂 I read about those floral blooms out your way. I believe the state was going to shut down some of the roads leading to the area because of all the traffic. But what a sight that must be! Nature always has a surprise here and there.
We got interviewed by a news channel about the traffic and the flowers. Not easy to decide what to do about flowers.
