Barbara, your pictures literally took my breath away! I often hike in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York with my cousin and there's no way to describe what we hikers see. Two years ago Soncat spent 2 weeks in central/eastern Europe with the International Scholar Laureate Program. On their way back to Vienna (I think) their bus went by way of the Alps. He said the beauty was so overwhelming they didn't know where to look.

A mountain hike on a beautiful day and some cheesecake.....perfect!

Thanks for sharing!
