They are near Columbia, TN. Quite a ways from you unfortunately. I had a college roomate from Cleveland. Really pretty area down there too!

Will have to look into that area for a multi day trip. Right now it's all camping and short day hikes (two young girls to bring along).

For a change of pace, here are some flowers from the high sierra (lowest elevation of any of them was about 6700', and this first one was at 14,000'+)

Excellent pictures! One of the most surprising things to me on my first trip in the mountains was the amount of beautiful flowers. They just grow all over the place up there. I remember being in the Titcomb Basin in the Wind Rivers last summer... the whole valley was carpeted with flowers. Simply amazing.
 
Nice flowers. 'Looking down on Hamilton Lake from the High Sierra Trail, Sequoia NP' that's one hell of a view! Beautiful! And I always like a sunset picture.

Here is my knife in action:

"I like big Butte's and I can not lie" -



Don't mind the charred terrian, this years forest fire.



Another sky shot -



 
11X11X - Is that on Butte Creek?

Now, for something completely different for me - a non-Sierra picture. This is at Redrocks State Park. A lot of westerns were filmed there back in the 30's and 40's.

Fimilar w/ Bidwell Park? This was my first time to "Five Mile". It isn't that my photography is good. It's just that the scenary is freakin pretty!

How do you guys edit your pictures? I just have a Kodak digi and resize the pictures down using windows paint application. However, I feel it affects the quality. Not sure what else I can do, other then having jumbo sized pictures. Advice is most welcome.
 
I believe the best free thing available is GIMP. You could have it in GIMPshop flavour, that aims a kind of simulation of the Photoshop interface by having the GUI settings tailored accordingly.
http://www.gimpshop.com/ That isn't the most straight forward option though. I'd suggest one of the portable versions of GIMP from Portable Apps. http://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/gimp_portable [In case you are not familiar with portable applications - it doesn't actually install on your machine. The processes that is superficially similar to an install is rather more akin to unzipping a file to a location you choose. Often one uses them to run from a USB stick that can be taken from machine to machine].
