I can just stand at my back window for hours mesmerized by the beauty that can be found out there right now.
Winter Wonderland
I think I may be just a little obsessed with photographing the mountains/foothills that are visible from my backyard. The clouds briefly lifted this afternoon and they looked so beautiful covered in snow. Just yesterday all that snow up there was being washed away by some serious rain (flood watches were popping up all over Oregon yesterday). However, last night we received yet more snow so the mountains are draped with it once more.

I was so surprised to wake up to snow again! Your photos are just gorgeous, we are indeed blessed to live in such a beautiful place! Kim
Hi Kim, the snow is completely amazing me this year and you are right- we are indeed blessed! -Cynthia
that is an incredible view, what a wonderland indeed!
Hi Lori! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.

I can’t imagine having that for a view. I would be completely mesmerized!
Hi Robin,
Sometimes I can’t believe that is our view. I stare in amazment at it all the time. -Cynthia
Such a priceless view! I can’t imagine not living without a view of mountains and trees. Actually, I don’t have to imagine…I did it for two years and was terribly homesick!
Hi Amy,
I grew up in the city so this is just amazing to me. I am continuously in awe. -Cynthia
Wow, more snow? Are you tired of it yet? If we get some this weekend and school is canceled on Monday, I may have to be committed… Your mountains are lovely, we only have a sliver of the Olympics in view but whenever they are visible, I stop and gape. Nice post!
Thanks Karen.
I’m starting to get a little tired of it or at least shoveling the driveway! It seems we finally unearth the driveway and mailbox only to have more snow bury them again! My 10 year old is the only one super happy that it keeps coming down! lol -Cynthia
I would be obsessed too! That’s a beautiful view you have…

Beautiful is an understatement EG.

Gorgeous. But cold. Brrrrrr.
I wish I had a view like that!
Hi Granny
I do hate being cold and that is how all this snow makes me feel. I need to revisit my post on the hot buttered rum! -Cynthia
Those are beautiful shots of the surrounding landscape. You have a gorgeous setting for your garden.
Hi Northen Shade,
It is a lovely backdrop for a garden. Come Summer time I never want to go in! -Cynthia
Gorgeous view. I have to go on vacation to get such a nice one.
Hi Daphne,
Believe me, so many times I have to pinch myself because I always think I must be on vacation. I sound like a broken record I am sure because I am always saying, “I can’t believe this is where we live!” -Cynthia
Very nice view. It has been pretty, but enough’s enough! I about cried Friday morning when I opened the garage to leave and it was snowing like crazy. However, the drive wasn’t so bad. Nice to find you. I’m in WA, south of Seattle.

Hi Paula,
It is Sunday night, can you hear me about to cry right now as it is snowing once more here. There is already about 4 more inches of new snow out there. What a winter…. and it has barely begun! -Cynthia
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.
Girl, if I had that view, you couldn’t pry me away from it. Or my camera!
Brenda
Thank you Brenda.
You should see my computer from the past few weeks- it is so filled up with pictures of that view. It is almost embarrassing how many I have been taking! -Cynthia
I think that’s the subject of many paintings. No wonder why, it’s beautiful.
Hi Cinj,
It is just mesmerizing isn’t it? -Cynthia
Absolutely beautiful pictures! You need to join us for Snowy Sunday! Jean
Thank you Jean.
We shall see what kind of weather this Sunday brings for us…. -Cynthia
I don’t think I would ever tire of looking at that! I live in the pancake-flat northwest corner of Ohio. Just perfectly square fields in every direction. There’s a certain kind of beauty in that, too. But I’d sure love to see mountains like this!
