Stunning photos!

A bucket full of that snow would feel right good in this humidity!

Floyd, your pictures of the flowers and the mountains are beautiful! I've only been in the "real" mountains a couple of times and they were breath taking even as young boy. The piney flat woods and the few hills in our part of the world aren't quite as eye catching as the mountains in the western part of our great country but these flat woods have their beauty too, it's just not as obvious as Mt. Rainier.

Philip I haven't been hardly any place that I couldn't see the beauty. I love the piney woods here in east Texas and the treeless plains in west Texas. Beaches too. But there is an awesomeness to the mountains that is hard to match. Thanks ::handshake::

doglegg, thank you for all the superb photos. You reminded me of the first time I saw Mt. Shasta. There was a full moon, crystal clear air, and the upper third of the mountain was snow covered. Breathtaking.

This was last night coming out of the church after gathering for prayer.

I tell you, John, that's the most complete arc of a rainbow I've ever seen. Left to right, horizon to horizon. It was beautiful; the photo doesn't do God's work justice.

Good shot Steve. Best rainbow I've seen was a double rainbow in Hawaii.

Thanks.
I've seen a few doubles, but usually they're quarter arcs, sometimes less.
Still neat to see.

Thanks guys.
One thing I think is neat about the pic is how the rainbow is almost acting like a bubble shield. Notice the contrast in the sky above and below the rainbow.

Traded in my old boat last month for a new Bay Boat. Have completed the first 20 hours on the motor (break in period). It’s at the dealer having the initial service, a few items corrected, and seat backs installed for the front seats. Been enjoying running the IntraCoastal Waterway from New River, through Camp Lejeune and northeast into Core Sound and around Morehead City/Beaufort. Now that the break-in is done I will start focusing on fishing from the boat. OH
