    Great photo, Dale. I wonder what your daughter is thinking about?

    She looks like she enjoys the outdoors. Willow is a fitting name for her. ;-)
    Gorgeous scenery ~ I have no idea where you live. I’ll have to go find out.

    The youngster looks contemplative, with the beauty and grandeur of the world. The mountains and vast blue skies invoke a sense of wonder, especially to a young one…who has the natural curiosity we grown-ups have lost.
