These shots are truly beautiful - walking amongst the mountains and the clouds. I especially love the fact that Amy is great to remember everyone's birthdays and carrying cupcakes to the top is extra special - always good to listen to your body and I like that your group does that as well. Have a great day :)LilliStJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771499579700164919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-81123715358478511982013-09-27T16:17:24.870-07:002013-09-27T16:17:24.870-07:00I know I keep repeating myself but I have to say i...I know I keep repeating myself but I have to say it again – you live in such a beautiful landscape. Your pictures are exquisite. I miss the open vista here – we have so many pine trees all around us.

Good idea that you have different groups who set their own pace. I wonder if the fast pacers even get to enjoy the views? <br />Ten miles is a good hike on flat ground. Very impressive. I loved that shot with the fall colors. Just stunning.

You do such a good job of listening to your body. Meniere's Disease helped me begin to do that. It's essential as we age to do so.
