Oh what a feeling.................................

This is my grandson Mike. His mother---yes, my daughter---sent me the pic. doesn't he look inspired. I just think it is a beautiful shot.
this pic was taken in Eastern Washington---isn't it way different than Western Washington. You know, the wet and green pictures I generally show you all. This is at Steptoe Butte State park in the Palouse Country. Very Beautiful.

Steptoe Butte State Park is a 150-acre, 3,612-foot-tall natural monument. Thimble-shaped, the quartzite butte looms in bald grandeur over the prevailing flat lands. The park is famous for its stark, dramatic beauty and the panoramic view it provides of surrounding farmlands, the Blue Mountains, and other neighboring ranges and peaks. From the top of the butte, the eye can see 200 miles.

Native Americans called the butte "the power mountain." It was believed that a journey to the butte bestowed a gift of power from the mountain's guardian spirit.
