  Laura- I think we are going to need a bigger bench as everyone wants to do what I would love to do, sit on that bench and enjoy a fantastic day of photo shoots. The framing is incredible. Love how you took the picture from the end of the bench and the way we get to see so much of it. And that view, heavenly. The valley, the trees, the snow capped mountains, and that gorgeous sky. Breath taking sight to behold.
Remarkable work my friend.
Have yourself a wonderful day, you take care.

:) I hope these will be good enough. :)

That would be awesome if we could all meet, for real, and go on a photo shoot of the Rockies. Maybe we should all write BP and ask them to have a summit there!!! (IN BANFF TOWNSITE!!!???)

HA!

Thanks all. I'd like to sit there with YOU, TOO!

  Hi Teresa! Fancy meeting YOU here! Pull up a BENCH! ANY BENCH! HA!

Okay! Lets suggest it! BANFF it is! How would I find you in the crowd though? You'll have to bring your darling pooch and hold him up to your face. HA!

Thanks for the votes of confidence on my images.

  Mr. Tree, you were number "50" to leave a comment here on this thread. This means that you indeed win a front row seat!

A huge bonus here would be that if any UFOS fly by you will be the first to see it!!! I KNOW I KNOW! EXCITING HEY?!

Unfortunately it also means you will likely get abducted. Who wouldn't want a talking tree on their planet???

Also thank you to Maria and Barbara and everyone else here. Have a seat. First come first serve. Bring Hot Coffee or Cocoa! Beauty awaits you there!
