I lived in Stuttgart for a time and have visited PA and VT, all with mountains, which I liked, but they didn't strike me as much as these "fourteeners!"<BR/><BR/>Rises & Lilacs,<BR/>Tina, and<BR/>Sabine,<BR/>It was so beautiful... and now it already seems like I was never there!<BR/><BR/>Nature Girl, <BR/>a zest for chocolate is good! Zest IN chocolate would not be bad either, as I do enjoy a nice orange-choccie combo!<BR/><BR/>Lisa, <BR/>I know just what you mean--it felt like I was in a movie the whole time I was there. I just couldn't get over the scenery! It didn't seem real. Thanks also for the link to High Country Gardens. I rarely buy plants (hey, I'm cheap!), but I really want to try this one, even though I know it's pushing my zone.<BR/><BR/>Sunita, LOL I loved the cool air in the mountains; it was refreshing! But I don't do well in heat and humidity (so why am I living in Michigan?!

(I mean the effect is more breathtaking, not like pictures or movies.) That Trumpet gentian is beautiful! I have fringed, closed and white closed growing up here...wish I could grow the alpine version too. (My sand holds too much water.) I've tried that red yucca (<A HREF="http://www.highcountrygardens.com/catalog/product/58150/" REL="nofollow">High Country Gardens</A> has it), so far I've killed it twice. :(lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814396908744491265.post-22149737692868192802008-07-01T14:04:00.000-04:002008-07-01T14:04:00.000-04:00These series of photos are wonderful!I was in Ariz...These series of photos are wonderful!<BR/>I was in Arizona all winter so these images are very familiar as we drove around to various mountain ranges.<BR/>I love the photos of the stairway to heaven made from the big rocks! <BR/> I understand the ~worded out~ as I am too latley.<BR/>Great photos!

I wasn't assigning a value to it, it just struck me as so different from southeast Michigan where businesses are closing and people are moving out. I'm not for endless building of urban sprawl and McMansions, but a healthy economy was nice to see. Many young people are leaving Michigan to find decent jobs. It's sad... Add the antics of Detroit's "mayor" and city council and the dying auto industry and... it struck me that other areas are not as depressed. And have mountains!! I just can't get over that. :)<BR/>~ MonicaMonica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814396908744491265.post-66521580339482703522008-06-30T21:08:00.000-04:002008-06-30T21:08:00.000-04:00Hi Bek, Ein Freund der Familie (aus Hamburg) hat i...Hi Bek, Ein Freund der Familie (aus Hamburg) hat immer gesagt "Berge sind schoen, aber die nehmen die Sicht weg." Ich koennte in einem Desrt nicht leben, aber die Berge haben mir sehr gefallen, besonderes im Vergleich zu Michigan. Ich habe keine "Opinion" an das Bauen gemeint. nur das es sehr anderes ist als hier, wo die Ekonomie sher schlecht ist. Ich bin natuerlich nicht fuer sprawl und McMansions, aber alles shien da sehr alive und gorwing. Hier scheint etliches tod und vergangen.<BR/>~ MonicaMonica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814396908744491265.post-23858429764372898672008-06-30T20:29:00.000-04:002008-06-30T20:29:00.000-04:00Wunderschoene Bilder, zumindest fuer einen Kurzurl...Wunderschoene Bilder, zumindest fuer einen Kurzurlaub:)! Soschoen die Berge anzusehen sind, wohnen moechte ich dort aber nicht. Ich bin ueberhaupt kein Fan von Bergen. Michigan ist mir auch etwas zu flach. Mir gefaellts von der Landschaft her in Virginia sehr gut. Mich wundert es aber, dass du den Bauwahn als positiv angefuehrt hast. Bei uns hat der eigentlich sehr negative Konsequenzen. <BR/>LG, BekBekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353543632009072686noreply@blogger.com
