Having my blood turn to wine (what a wonderful description!) happened the first time I saw Crater Lake in southern Oregon. The explosive change from the starkness of the last 20 miles of highway- everything gray-green, sparse, slim trees growing out of 300-foot deep ash from the long-ago Mt.Mazama eruption- to the richness of the deep, deep cobalt blue of the lake was an absolute epiphany to me.
