This tree was under nearly twenty feet of snow,when I arrived at Timberline, near the end of May.Mt. Jefferson peeks through the tree branches,near the center of the picture.My eyes like this, even if only for the greens shading away to blues.The wea

Every morning I drive the turny twisty's, to Timberline.It's never the same, surprising in the variations thatsunlight and clouds can bring.I hope you are enjoying the pictures as much as I am.Who woulda thunk I would miss my kids, huh?
