The romantic nature of the 1st 5 paragraphs coupled with the magical photos had me in tears before I could finish the report. Y'all are so blessed....

Great pics, very envious. Went with friends in October 2003 but had to turn back with the snow & ice :( but hopefully do it again some day. :)

Unbelievably beautiful! And to think that this happens morning after morning, but there's not often anyone around to see it, let alone document it! Stuff to dream of for sure.
