I've been noticing the different beauty even from my own windows...this is my first winter in this house...I moved in late summer...and loved the trees from my sunporch window...then they turned colors...and it was a whole different beauty...now they are bare...and I see the bark on the Poplar tree...it's very white and is especially beautiful when the sun is first lighting the sky...I'm enjoying getting to know the shape of the trees and seeing what's beyond them...

I wish I had your artist's ability...I'd paint the seasons!

Lynn...your trip sounds beautiful...I hope to see the area some day!
