Picture of the year, 2009

My friend, A has inspired me to post a favorite photo for '09



this was taken July 4, 2009. we are west of Merrill Canyon in Wyoming. one of Johnnie's favorite places. the storm blew thru and sun the rainbow came out. it was so beautiful and it lasted for a long time (close to an hour,) as the rain storm went off across The Bighorn Basin .





not proof that bears pee in the woods....but deer do !


A is in Turkey and planning to "sort of plan" the next 6 weeks walking around (and Busing & trains) the Middle East so if you have a thought add her to good ones and Prayers too !

Honorable mentions... Enjoy
