From one of our hikes in Glacier National Park:

The water was really clear-

It was super pretty.

The falls were nice too:

Really don’t think you could take a bad picture of the place…

Gorgeous! Glacier is one of my top five favorite national parks.

I went to Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper a couple of years ago. Gorgeous place. Here’s a sampling from Jasper (more later):

Oh wow. Glacier is amazing. It’s on my list to go back and spend about a week there.

I took these while riding through on a train. I can’t wait to go back through and get some good stuff.

I finally got Lightroom straightened out! I hereby promise not to post my own pics in this thread more than once a day (rolls over at midnight Pacific time).

This is the base of a coastal redwood tree in Big Basin Redwoods State Park, close to where I live. This photo was taken in 2000. I’m glad I went back just a couple of years ago; not long after that, a fire burned 86,000 acres, including 97% of the park.

I have a lot of stuff from this trip in my old camera, but I have to get home before I can download.

We went to Shenandoah this last spring. Got there right after a big storm hit, so everything was cold, wet and mostly foggy.

It made for some lovely pictures, though-

But it did clear up the higher we went (though it still looked pretty ominous):

I didn’t know they had bayous in Texas! That’s cool

Your first two and last photos are just showing broken image icons though. :frowning:

Here’s the coolest part of my Lake Louise stop. When we got there, the clouds were so thick that we couldn’t see the mountains at all.

But halfway through our hike, this happened:

And when we got back down:

It was amazing. Honestly, the pictures don’t do it justice. It was an amazing experience.
