Beautiful Donna! I went to Tamarack and yelled Donna Donna a lot but didn't see you anywhere! #8248408Sarah G December 26, 2009
Its got to be hard sometimes to put your mind on the photography instead of the amazing sight in front of you. I think I'd have a hard time deciding if I should just drink in the scene before me or hurry up and capture it before it is all gone.This is so beautiful. What a wonderful gift you have given my eyes. #8248416
