Colville, Flowers, and Scenery

Good morning! XD I uploaded a few of my favorite pictures from traveling, and even one from being home. 

This particular one is from home, actually. It started hailing, thundering, raining, snowing, and then the sun started to set-all within about a 5 minute window of time. One of the sayings here in Eastern Washington/North Idaho is: "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes." It was incredibly true. So, this incorporates most of those elements-except that what you see on the ground here isn't snow-it's all hail. Pea sized, for the most part.









This was taken on the way back from Colville-I believe it was last month. I looove taking pictures of this mountain, especially during storms. In fact, you might say I have a think for storms in general. It feels cleansing, (I guess it kinda is) but I like to look at it as giving the world a fresh start. I like fresh starts.








THIS was taken directly after a snowstorm at B's parents house in Colville. Those lucky ducks have access to some FINE scenery, and I can't resist snapping a ton of pictures. I like the clouds-and I like how clearly they came out! I also like how fresh and clear the whole look was.








This bloomed right after we got into town-again, I can't remember the name of it-but if you know the names of any of the flowers, lemme know. I'll update my posts, *and* give you proper credit for them. Everyone tells me what they are, but I just don't have patience to commit things to memory. In any case, I *love* the brilliant warm orange of this flower, and the blue center. I remember just thinking, "man, God, you really go all out on these things! It's just a flower, and yet, it has the ability to capture the attention and admiration of anyone that sees it!" God really has an awesome imagination!


That's about all I have, as far as epic photos for today. I have a ton more, but I'm pacing myself. XD
