8. If it did a Mt. St. Helens...

Catastrophe wouldn’t begin to describe it. It’s so massive.

5. Just WOW!..your pictures are so beautiful..

Grew up in Mass..Cannon MT. in NH was always a fun road trip..Old Man of the Mountain..they tried to save it with netting..held for years..now restored...sorta, kinda..good faith effort..

I can think of another road trip to Washington..Mt. Shasta in Oregon..it was snowing at the top..beautiful..should have captured a pic..not to be..was just passing thru..

Thank you ..

14. Wow, thank you so much for your lovely comments, my dear asiliveandbreathe!

Thanks for the great video on the Old Man of the Mountain. I've never been there. And I thought the solution was ingenius!

I've missed good photos too.....but I have quite a few that make me very happy. I'm happy that you enjoy my work.

You're very welcome!

6. I Know (and Love) That Mountain!!

The photo does have a faintly hazy historical look, like a well-scanned transparency.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. It's very easy to love that Mountain, isn't it? I always have, from my childhood.

This photo is from film. I actually don't remember how old I was when I took this.

7. Lovely!

BTW, We made it up to Paradise (where your photo was taken) for a snowshoe on Tuesday. Glorious, full sun, and extremely deep snowpack this year. Best part -- hardly any people. We went a couple of miles up to where we could hear only the wind, and avalanche falls into the Nisqually glacier. Could see Adams, St. Helens and Mt. Hood too. Just an awesome spring snowshoe

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Wow, what an extraordinary trip you had, my dear Pobeka! Glad you like my photo.

It must have been amazing to see all those snowy peaks from your vantage point.

9. If it was so long ago, why wasn't it smaller?

haha Just kidding. I like reflecting on old print pix, if that's what that is.

Somebody got a lot of depth there. Was it you?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. You're too funny, my dear JohnnyRingo!

It is an old print photo. I did take it, but I don't recall what camera I was using. I just knew I had to get that photo!

I appreciate your compliment very much.

18. Magnificent Peggy!

I like the swirl of snow (?) at left at treetops.
Nice tight composition.
Just lovely!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Thank you so much, my dear George!

I was a lot younger when I took this and I had no idea about composition or anything like that.

If things looked good to me, then I'd take a photo of it!

[George McGovern]

20. You are welcome Peggy!

I'd say you didn't need to know about composition and the rest of it because you already knew what looked good to you. I absolutely love your reply to Johnny Ringo - "I just knew I had to get that photo!"

And you did!!!
