Eastern Oregon.

Southern Idaho.

Our vacation was great but we ran into all kinds of weather. Cloudy skies, sunny skies, wind and rain, wind and snow ....... well, you get the idea.

Ginny said...

Glad to see you are back! What a great header! Love these clouds and the foreboding mountains. All so different! In your absence, I finally snapped a bee, not near as good as yours, but worth posting, so I did. I was quite pleased with it as a first attempt. Scared though I was, I remembered your advise, and did not get stung!!! Can't wait to see more of your your vacation pics and maybe stories as well!!

Those blue skies with fluffy white clouds are all pretty nice scenes, Judy, even if you had a real weather variety. It's that time of year!

My heart is in that first photo right now. The dark and the blue, the lines of geometry and the organic nature of the sky. So many images come together.

Wonderful photographs! I've never been to Idaho, but have a friend who is moving to Boise in two weeks...So perhaps I'll have a good excuse to go. :)

Pat said...

I'm surprised you had enough sunny days to take pictures in all the states! LOL! Sounds like you had the same weather we did driving through all those states on our way back to IL!

Lovely photos of blue skies!
