This month’s challenge to City Daily Photo bloggers is more descriptive than usual: If you had to leave forever the city from which you usually post, what would you miss most?
Although there are many things I would unquestionably miss, if you’ve followed this blog you probably can anticipate my answer: the Olympic Mountains. They form for me the visual identity of home. And while the landscape of our region is gorgeous, as you can see here, our mountain boundary is a backdrop that never fails to define beauty for me. We’re blessed: seashore, forests, farmlands, rivers, wilderness, and wildlife, not to mention wonderful people. I’d miss it all if I had to leave and I pray that will never be necessary.

I miss mountains as beautiful as that too!
That is one beautiful photograph and portrays perfectly your feelings about “home.” I’d not want to leave there, either!
I don’t even live there and I am missing the mountains already. Beautiful sight!
You do live in a paradise, Kay. But we all moved there to enjoy your paradise, POOF! You should try to keep it a secret. ;))
It is an exquisite view, clear photograph to illustrate your feelings. You also eloquently described the landscape and your love for it.
The simplicity of the barn enhances the majestic feel of the mountains.
May you never have to leave your mountains! Happy Theme Day!

Love your theme. Those mountains breath taking indeed.
Hi Kay, beautiful photo and wonderful explanation. Leaving would be tough. Olympic Mountains left a big impression on us the few times we have been to Sequim. Happy Theme Day
Love your choice for the theme day. Well done!
Absolutely stunning – one of your best shots so far – and you have many great ones. I would have to divide my loyalties between the mountains and the ocean – though a good mountain is hard to beat.
How I understand you !
Great choice for this theme !
Those mountains are achingly beautiful.
These mountains make me catch my breath. Every time.
Yup. The mountains. You are lucky to have them as a background for life.
The mountains make such a lovely backdrop for photos as well. I can definitely understand why you’d miss them!
What a fantastic view! I’d miss that too!
