Silence
Silence

"LOWER LAKE" -BOULTON CREEK COUNTRY

One Of The Things I Have Noticed About
THE CANADIAN ROCKY MOUNTAINS
Is the Silence.

This Spot Could Not Have Been More Peaceful.

Next time I will bring a chair
AND JUST
"BE".

I DEDICATE THIS IMAGE TO NANCYJ HOVEY (MUMJ)
Who Is Teaching Me To Find And Love
The Silence In ME and To Just
"BE"

  Laura- Breath taking beauty that should be enjoyed in the silence. It would put one in touch with themselves, let them know that they are much better than they think.
A stunning view of this part of heaven with amazing composition and depth. I love that you gave us so much to see. The clearness of the water and seeing the rocks underneath it is a beautiful sight as man has not spoiled it yet. love the long view of the shoreline with the green pines, and the mountains in the back kissing the sky. The reflections in the water also a special treat.
Remarkable work my friend. Enjoy who you are, be at peace with yourself. Have a wonderful day.

  "There's no place like home -----in Canadian Rocky!" Bring three chairs, I'll be there too! It's really most sincerely peaceful, Laura! The mirror-like reflection is really beautiful. Wonderfully composed. You've created an enticing image. Funny, Jack mentioned about a UFO. I did see one in Canada years ago.

  Last to first:

Hi SZ! Thank you. I almost felt like someone else took this one. It's not my usual...It was gratifying. Thanks!

* * *

Maxy - For free? I don't believe it. What do you really want? A Ferrari? I don't feel bad about the pizza. You owed me that, don't you think? :) HA!

* * *

Hi Mr Tree! I'm afraid you are right. It's the only part about camping that I find really annoying. And for we humans to have to put on deep woods POISON onto our skin, that causes cancer...Sigh...GIVE ME A REAL UFO any day and skip the bugs!

* * *

Thanks Surfer Guy Robert! :) Very much!

* * *

This is for you Christine...Listen....

(I know. I know. More silence...) :) Thanks sweetie!

* * *

You've got it Alex. I WILL!

Just for us!

YES, "JACK-PATH". Who told you? Oh. I forget. The FOREST TOLD YOU about the UFO! I keep forgetting that they see ALL!

* * *

Hi Brother Rolan. Your Chair is right there above us. You, me and Alex so far. :) I hope you don't HAVE to look at this image too often but will WANT TO! :) DON'T WORK TOO HARD!!!

Hi Fun Lady. I still love your hat so much Julianne. Will you join us at this blessedly quiet place???

  Hi Gina and Tammy and Daniella and Mumj and Sister Chrissy!

Can you believe I actually re-entered this one tonight (NEW MONTH) because of a white stone that was in the foreground (under water) that distracted the eye?! I think the judges will like this one better maybe?

I did manage to get an EFP however!!! HA!

Thanks so much all of you and for the congrats...

Mimzyj, are those sugar cookies??? YUMMY! :)
