[MD] another glimpse of Lila

[MarshaV]

Greetins,

 From Ian's photos:  ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!  Just the colors I 
imagined.  It must seem like heaven.

It's pretty here tonight too.  I went for a little walk about 45 
minutes ago.  It probably started snowing an hour ago.  The snow 
crystals are of the sort that when the light hit the snow it looked 
like a net of jewels.  I've never been to a place that wasn't 
beautiful.  Even the lava fields on Lanzarote (Canary Island) can 
produce immense beauty.

Marsha
