God's Country

I've always wondered how Darrin's parents could live so far away in Washington for six months every year.  Visiting here this week I no longer wonder why.  This is some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen.  And they get this view every day, six months of the year.  While I would NOT want to be here during the snow, I am very happy to spend a week here during the summer.  It's gorgeous.  And we are having a wonderful visit.  Here are some pictures from yesterday.  As you can see, I'm really starting to enjoy my camera, now that I'm learning how to use it!
