but the mountains are not "ours". That was a photo taken on vacation in the Smokeys. We live in Washington, though, and do have plenty of gorgeous mountains to enjoy also!</grin>
Belinda, I forgot to mention how happy I was to see your post this morning. We have missed you and AJ!
Do not forget about us. We love seeing you here.
I love Chicago…most truckers think I'm a kook for having that opinion, but I've been known to go 75 miles out of my way just to sit in Chicago traffic. :D
There's a certain energy in Chicago I can't find anywhere else in the world. And yes, that says a lot...I've been in major cities from Tokyo to Prague (Praha) to Munich to Seoul as well as amost every major city in the US. There's just something about Chicago.
Aha!…But I didn't say largest living animals…I was speaking of the Great Grandfathers of Northern California, the Giant Sequoia commonly known as Redwoods. :D
We used to have Blue Jays come around and really squawk and squawk. Now we have crows, mostly mornings doing the squawking, squirrels doing the whining and a woodpecker playing the drums on the telephone poles. Natures band!
