When I moved here from Ontario 38 years ago, I was astounded that people here didn't seem to know the names of the mountains that surrounded them. Right from the beginning, they have become beloved friends to me - we too can see only Cheam from our house as we are too close to the end of the valley to see more but it is the first thing we look at each morning. If there's fresh snow or no snow, if the peak is clearly seen or obscured by cloud, It is our bellweather. Thank you for highlighting these beautiful mountains.Bev Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270938389792314932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-65200163235671120032009-12-29T21:22:36.299-08:002009-12-29T21:22:36.299-08:00Having views like that is beautiful Judy!

The only other place on earth that has views like that must be the Swiss Alps or perhaps Alaska.<br /><br />My son lives near the Colorado Rockies, but they are further in the distance with a few peaks that can be seen for many miles. Driving up into them is magical, however, and enjoy doing that so much if we have a chance when we visit.<br /><br />"I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me"Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-28891306606230314642009-12-29T14:33:26.751-08:002009-12-29T14:33:26.751-08:00Spectacularly beautiful!

Now we are running out of peaks...and re-naming some of them after our current heroes...though not all think that is a good idea. <br /><br />Who needs to go to a library...when we have our own on-site librarian here in bloggyland?

That is what your local librarian is for! (not me in this case). Next time you are buzzing by the library, swing on in and ask. Librarians love those sort of questions, it is so much more interesting than telling folks where the bathrooms are!<br /><br />And you get high marks for researching the back ground of the peaks that you did know. Isn't it fun to know that kind of trivia? Sure you don't want to become a librarian too?Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-87838651891198149682009-12-29T09:38:32.419-08:002009-12-29T09:38:32.419-08:00We do live in the best part of the world.
