And ... So transient. Here for a moment to give awe in their beauty, then gone forever. To capture them with a photo would be sublime."<br /><br />Three days later, after running down my camera battery 6 times, I had done it. <br /><br />Check back soon so see these images.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2303950411534870168-5691003630004861129?l=kaleidoscopemandalas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kristen S.
