And it's so great that blogging is giving you a way to share them with so many who appreciate them.

You said it very well...so much to see and never enough time.<br />***********************************************<br />Betsy - We didn't take the train, but I'd like to do that sometime. I think you'd get a whole different perspective. The road climbs the mountains, while the train (I think) follows a lower route...so you'd be looking up at the mountains. So I don't know if one is better than the other...just different.<br />***********************************************<br />Elizabeth - I suspect that the people in Switzerland might object to Ouray's nickname. :)Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-30161088511158405842011-03-04T13:14:22.458-05:002011-03-04T13:14:22.458-05:00I guess if I never make it to Switzerland, I can a...I guess if I never make it to Switzerland, I can always go there!Elizabeth Grimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283397561867581379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-61195301954879073852011-03-04T13:13:16.626-05:002011-03-04T13:13:16.626-05:00Hi Linda, I've heard about that train ride ou...Hi Linda, I've heard about that train ride out of Silverton...

I used to think I took a decent picture until I entered Blogland and began seeing all the truly excellent photographs posted by some bloggers. Now I'm my own worst critic. So your praise is much appreciated.<br /><br />Our West offers so much beauty and diversity. It shouldn't be missed. And there's a lot of it I haven't seen yet myself.<br />**********************************************<br />Hilary - With your photographic talent, it's kind of you to praise my efforts. It's a very photogenic area, though. Most anyone could come away with some "calendar" photos. <br /><br />Have you ever traveled to Canada's own Banff and Jasper National Parks? If not, you really should try to schedule a visit. The scenery is stunning there.<br />**********************************************<br />Thank you, Steve. Maybe we'll take that train ride on a future trip.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-69070068111428199932011-03-04T07:52:37.923-05:002011-03-04T07:52:37.923-05:00I have been here and road on the railroad.

I had quite a bit of catching up since your visit to the Bishop's Castle. (Still amazed over that thing!) I just have to tell you that I have never, ever, been so tempted to travel out west as I am since I've seen your photos! Honestly, they should hire you to take pictures for travel brochures!ethelmaepotter!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10626030604752269356noreply@blogger.com
