Here they are! After many labor-intensive hours of editing/ sifting through unrecognizable blurs to find the real nuggets and hours of waiting as they tried to load again and again, here they are! Suffice it to say that editing, sifting, and waiting took a bit longer than expected. (Mostly the waiting to upload part...and maybe even the epic failure at attempting to put the pictures in chronological order...Technical Difficulties are bliss- feel free to read sarcasm into that statement) However, they are now available for your enjoyment. Feel free to poke fun at wonky facial expressions, laugh at the appropriate times, and maybe even cry because some of this loverly scenery is just too breath-taking. Anywho...I hope that you Enjoy...
