a little bit of heaven

Sometimes I can't believe I live in such a beautiful place. Granted, I don't actually live in the mountains, but this amazing part of God's creation is only a short drive from my home.
We went for a walk this evening and these photos don't even begin to capture what we saw. I think tomorrow I'll try to go when there's a little more sunlight left. The deciduous trees are just starting to leaf and that, in combination with the lush stands of evergreens, provide more shades of green than even I could name.

It's amazing to me that in the Spring you can find everything from daffodils to pine cones.

You can't really tell how large these trees are until you see us standing by them. I was going to post said photo, but my camera's battery just died. I sure hope I remembered to bring the charger.


Until tomorrow then--I just wish I could post a scratch-and-sniff button so you could take a deep breath of this cool mountain air.

I love being in the mountains, especially when I get to stay at a nice place for a few days. I wish there were a scratch and sniff setting for this post as well.
