  2. .....so gorgeous. It's really an escape to see these photos. At least the sun finally came out here. Seeing blue sky again was wonderful......nothing like what you're seeing, but I'll take it!

  3. Pretty! What's the weather like, temperature-wise?

    I'm curious--are you feeding the birds or does the campsite owners do it? The birds look grateful!
