  Good morning everyone! How special to see you are here in the Rockies with me enjoying the view. I think we should rent a sky boat and go for it? What do YOU think? That water is often like GLASS. Perfect for such a thing.

There is something about the minerals in the water up here, too, that is so good for a persons skin. Keeps it soft and healthy. EVEN YOUTHFUL! (No one here grows older than 48!)

IT'S VERY REFRESHING if you can stand the heat or chill. (Our hot springs here are VERY healing. Only 12 minutes drive from this Lake).

I am so happy you are all really liking this image. Makes me proud to lay it at your feet. -Laura

  Well Good Afternoon All! I am beginning to think you guys are liking my Canadian Rocky pictures?

...And to think I thought you'd be on the edge of your chairs to see more forest mushrooms and DDR-SP's HA!!! Go figure! I am glad "YOU ARE HERE" with me. Visit again anytime you are lacking beauty to behold!

I appreciate all you have said here.

  I FINALLY got to the bottom of the thread so I could put my 2-cents worth in! Beautiful landscape photo, Laura! I predict another EP on this one! The "fading" frame around the edges is a nice touch, too!

  Hi Patrick, Maria, Walter and SSSKirsten (Kiki)!

I'm so happy you guys like this one. It's a re-enter that didn't even get an EFP the first time around so I hope they notice it this time.

(I agree...I thought it could be a post card too, Walter, minus my name at the bottom...So I keep my fingers crossed this time!)

Thanks you guys, You're TOPS! -Laura
