The pics don't really do the country justice, glad you enjoyed them though.
Forgot to mention just a little tip. Sometimes I bring some wildflowers out for my wife, she especially likes seeing the pictures of where they're from. And I've found that if I put them in a small, empty ziploc (say, after eating a sandwich), then blow the bag up with air and seal it real quick, the flowers stay fresh as a you-know-what. The sealed bag acts like a pillow and keeps the flowers from getting smashed in the pack. I just open the bag up once in awhile and blow fresh air in and reseal. Forget-me-nots are our State flower.
