Awesome! Thanks for sharing those pics, Wiz.....you're getting pretty handy with that new digicam. The recent storms in the SW have even filled in the large swimming pool at Goldstrike HS, NV (the one you refer to as "the gem". That one will probably take days to shovel out.
With all the rain during this season, the Spring blossom at DC should be phenomenal this year. Hope I can get out there to enjoy it.
