I'm Not Home Yet

I'm Not Home Yet, a photo by Tony DeSantis Photography on Flickr.

2nd shot from Trillium, I hope I don't bore you all with shots from Trillium, I haven't even started on the night time photo's I took from the night before. Probably because these are more interesting with the cloudy sky compared to the night before with totally clear skies. Maybe I should wait on those and post another day.
The title comes from being held up in a hotel in Seattle waiting for my flight tomorrow morning. It has pretty much rained all the time I was here so it was a waterfall weekend besides these shots at Trillium.
As beautiful as this scene is and as enjoyable as it was. I miss my family and can't wait to get home!!
