Glad to see you back blogging, Mary. :)troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065634132019405929.post-44152260559542439392011-09-01T10:05:51.240-04:002011-09-01T10:05:51.240-04:00I agree.

Your comments about nature are beautifully expressed; thank you.<br /><br />Hey Lisa, great to hear from you! Re bugs: my sister had some wonderful bug repellent spray along--very light and soft on the skin, yet effective. I definitely appreciated it, more because of the tiny irritating midges that were out than the mosquitoes. Yes, as people so often say, I love to travel and then truly love being back home.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11588695586677501283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065634132019405929.post-67229045162870205972011-08-29T17:42:32.243-04:002011-08-29T17:42:32.243-04:00Looks like a beautiful hike.

The photos are exquisite and an prime example of why I love landscapes and nature so very much. The very hand of God is seen in nature.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.com
