Rocky Road Trip Forested lakes and rivers, charming alpine towns, and wind-whipped rock formations on a rocky road that gave us a wild ride--this was the scenic Ruta de los Siete Lagos through Argentina's Patagonian Lake District.

Wow
I can look at this photo the whole afternoon. Ok. Maybe with a cup and thermos of coffee to nourish me. Tara, such stunning photography! I have no DLSR but I'm curious what cam you are using and where you learned to take all these astounding photos!

Thanks for your kind words about my photos, Lili. The truth is, I'm just lucky and see beauty everywhere. I'm too lazy to use a DSLR. For these photos, I had an ultracompact Lumix.
