Don't count me in, SSSis. I love to stand on the ground. But I can see the temptation!
You captured the grandeur of the mountain beautifully. #7955146

I agree with Kirsten, I will enjoy it from the ground, or from the great capture you posted. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi Teresa, Melissa, Nadya, SSSKiki, Troy, Early-pearl, Tammy, Kerry, Ron, Mr.Tree, Monnie, Denny, Jack P., Tommy and Mumj!!!
