Gosh you guys. What a wonderful group response from all of you! Your feedback to my work means so much to me and to hear that you really felt moved or warmed by this, happy or refreshed or impressed ...this is the ultimate for me. Gord there is no cure for "The Fever" except to come visit!!! Then you leave without the fever but in love with the Rockies like a sick puppy. I don't know what to tell you! Which would you rather be? Each and every response here means a great deal to me. Come back here any time you need to feel and smell the beauty of Canada. :) !!! -Miss Laura

Time flies faster in CANADA so I get to enter more pictures. Don't worry, you are not getting old! I had a dream 2 nights ago that I got a finalist. NOW WE WILL PUT MY PSYCHIC ABILITIES TO THE TEST! Thanks! * * * Hi Ann! You're so sweet! Thanks you! * * * Well today we take the visiting NORWAY family and friends to Mt. Kidd so they can take some pretty pictures and go on a walk with us B4 they head into Banff. Sorry I haven't been on here much you guys but I will make up for it later when I can.

Laura this is beautiful well done!!! Congrats on getting some decent software. Your photos have really improved since I last looked at your gallery. I think its time you stepped up to a DSLR. Yout photography has gotten to a level that you need more than the powershot to fully express your vision. Trust me I know I worked with a coolpix for years and it held me back in so many ways. P.S. glad that scary teacher hasn't made another appearance lately, lol.

Thanks so much Carol!!! :) * * * Robert, Thanks so much for your visit and comment on this image!!! I have thought a lot about what you have said and I know how right you are. I really do need a better camera and equipment and I totally respect your honesty. I DO feel VERY held back using a flat camera. Zoom ins have no quality, I can attach p/solarizers the list goes on. Thanks for saying so! * * * Hi Zaanat! Fun to have you stop in! Thaks friend!!! * * * Hi Dawn! Thanks lady!!! * * * Hi Christine!!! I FEEL FAINT! A VISIT FROM YOU!!! COOL! Thanks so much! This is called having a BLURRED ICONIC BG. I guess it's kinda popular with the pros since the NORM is to get the MTNS in focus and blur the foreground!?! (Or have it on infinity) Sure good to have you all drop in! Thanks! -Laura
