    Mark, very nice photos, especially the mountains … I’m rather partial to mountains. 🙂

    I just came back from Asheville, where I went up on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I even saw a Chipmunk!!! Remember that I told you that I hadn’t seen one in about 20 years. Please stop by if you have chance: http://www.paullesterphoto.com

    My favorite place in the US! I’d live there if I could. Maybe I will some day. Beautiful images.

    I think that mountain photo is awesome. All the different layers of purple lead the eye to the beautiful orange/pink.

    Thanks Jimmy. I often wonder if winter type images have more appeal during this time of year! 🙂
