  I'm so happy to share this place with all of you. There is a reflection bench there EXACTLY like the one I shared with you a hand full of images ago.

Each bench is solid wood, like that, and bought by a private person or family and dedication plaques are on them. This one said:

"In memory of Margaret and Roger Harvey who found peace and joy among these mountains"... :)

So did I. So will you if you ever come to visit.

THANK YOU EVERYONE and:

Walter, NEAT to know your heritage! Thanks!

Nancy G.- You're welcome! :)

YES MONNIE!!! The EVERYTHING! :)

Mr. Tree...You'd love to live right at this pond. I know it and there are TONS of little spiders I bet. My sincere condolences.

I'm so glad to have been able to take you all here for a moment in time. Come back any time and stare at this till you smile.

THANKS TO EACH OF YOU! I really enjoyed your comments here!

  Hi Folks! :) So nice to have you all stop in.

* Lynne- You are so right. I don't take it for granted one day that I live here. The winters are SO VERY BRUTAL and LONG but when the Spring Comes I know I am in the most beautiful place EVER. :) !!!

* Jack - I am glad! I hope you really do come see this area! Bring Mr Tree too. He will love the Forest here. :)

* Thank you Ujjwal!

* Hi Sister Karen! UNCANNY. Another person said the same thing to me today. Maybe I should take heed? Humm...

* I AGREE TAMMY! I grew up near the beaches. They are just as inspiring!

* Hi RON! Okay. I promise I won't. Yes. I know just what you mean. There are so may areas I feel the same way about up here. Wait till you see the Mt. Kidd Lodge! You'll wish it was your house. GREAT SPOT!

* You're welcome, Christine! :) SMiLING.

* Hi Renee! Thanks so much!

  * It really WAS a wonderful trip, Marisol. It's hard to go wrong in the Rockies. In June we get snow, rain, sun, WIND & SLEET in the high country. So long as you have propane and electricity in the RV you really don't suffer. You just enjoy the view!

* WOW SUSIE! What a wonderful nose you have on you! :D


Thanks for the smiles ladies -Laura

  Larua- How can one not feel refreshed of soul when being here. Even the picture makes one feel restful, so can only imagine what it would be like to experience this for real. Gorgeous composition and I love the 3D look of it. The water, the grass, the vegetation, and that gorgeous sky all come together to create this part of heaven.
Breath taking work my friend.
Have a beautiful day, you take care.

  Good morning BP sisters! It has been an exciting week with EFP's around here. I guess the judges really like going camping in the Rockies??? They probably really need the break???!!!

You guys are terrific.

YES! HAPPY CANADA DAY!!! What a pretty Dog Miss Doone. Did Christine train her?

Cassie have you been hanging out with Christine Duncan? That is her favorite saying! :) We love her for it!

  Thank you Mumj, Theresa and Renata!!! We just had a huge family picnic at Wedge Pond last Friday. It was peaceful and a beautiful spot. There were baby dragon flies all around us. It was almost surreal. OH AND NOT TO FORGET THE DEER that just went walking by as I was setting up the food!

Thanks for enjoying this place with me!
