Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas..

Nothing very special for us here yesterday. No big celebrations for Christmas, but it was a public holiday.

Still cold and damp..and I'm staying home

(and a picture to share, from XMas day)

If I remember right, Mt. Hood is northeast of Seattle

... or to the right center in this picture, from 1992...

The rain did become a drizzle at noon, but it became heavier and now it's a storm! Non-stop rain. I wonder how I'll ever get to go out.

Very nice and..brisk pic Zen beautiful capture.

Glad you like my pictures

Ctrl-F5? What does it do, Zen?

CTRL+F5 does a "Force Refresh"

Colder than ever...grass is frozen in the mornings ..*brr*

Hot afternoon now...

You are learning more all the time...and that's what we all have to do.. Cascade Range is what Zen mentioned he liked..they are a photographers dream...Crater Lake belongs to the Cascade Mt Range..

ET

The Cascades is in the Northwestern states; the Sierras is in California (Southwestern states); The Rockies is in the Mid-West (Just east of the Cascades & Sierras, but some people consider the Cascades the "Rockies" as well), and it extends well into Western Canada. The Great Plains is in the middle of America; the Appalachians is the mountain range in the Eastern states that run from Georgia all the way up to Maine, but also have different names in some states (i.e. "White Mountains" in New Hampshire, "Green Mountains" in Vermont, the "Catskills" in New York, the Great Smokies down in North Carolina, etc.)

Thanks for the geography info Zen ..we treat the seperation of the Cascades identity from the Rockies much differently..as they stretch from No California to B.C., where both ranges mingle. There's an extensive basin between the Rockies and Cascades in Oregon and to the south..and desert through Nevada, where the Sierras take over. An overview topographically shows that the elevations are quite a ways above sea level

I can understand that local perception is always more definitive than what might be generalized from other parts of the country.

Wish we could exchange temperatures now. We have such a hot day. Miraculously, it didn't rain today!

You have a great memory...wish I knew which four lakes are ahead of Crater Lake?? My brother works for the US Forest Service as a geologist..so much of what I know comes from him.

We are back to rain..so might not be a good time for an exchange..though the temps?? we could use warmer anytime.

ET

My memory for geography stuff is ok. I can't say it's good. I love memorising countries and their special areas. I used to be able to remember all of the countries' capitals. Unfortunately, I switched to memorising star and constellation names. Now I can't remember much of either subjects.

We are colder than ever...if it rained it might be ice pellets instead ...or like the other day when it rained..it caused warmer temps to occur Now I'd like that.
