(7) Looks like our Peonies are going to make a healthy appearance!

(8) Evergreens are always green, but do take on a nice fresh look this time of year.

Great pictures and a nice reminder of the couple of times we've visited The Great Sand Dunes. Smiling as you explained "the people" in # 4 & 5. Not only did I enjoy it from the distance, but also became one of those people stumbling around in the sand! Thanks for sharing! Bob

Thank you George in McKinney! I was very pleased that my camera captured so much of the detail during this fun, rushed shoot. Bob

Thank you compilot for the kind comment! You're right about "Always have a camera at the ready." It's usually ready, but at times.....at the other end of the house! So glad he waited!

Since we've lived in Indiana as of 2002.....guess that makes us Hoosiers! But originally from Massachusetts. Have lived in some wonderful places from California to Hawaii (18 yrs) to Colorado & then on to Indiana so we could be grandparents in the proper way. Thanks again, Bob
