Thank you all so much!!! I love your visits and don't deserve them. I haven't been here as much as I need to be and am so sorry!!! If you folks have time and want to see one the most beautiful movies made in the 1950's of the Canadian Rockies (Love story of sorts!) Try and watch Rose Marie. Here is part ONE of TWELVE ten minutes segments. So worth watching even just this segment! Thank you all for your wonderful visits! -Laura :)))

Laura: Since I am an old movie fan from way, way, back, I have seen this movie, and the scenes are indeed beautiful. I used to sit with my grannie as she loved the "oldies" too, and I married a man who likes them also. I am "blessed" all around. You do the Canadian Rockies justice to rival the scenes in this movie. Way to go!!!

They, and you, deserve it! CONGRATULATIONS, Pom, and my fingers are crossed for you in the next round!

Thanks, Kimmy! I have another one I hope is even better, (that I shot as I stood there standing in another direction), and maybe the judges will let it go GOLD. I will re-enter it this month. :))) You know the Rockies are so gorgeous. Everyone says, once they get here, that EVERYWHERE THEY TURN there is another great shot to take...So my little motto is that I don't make the beauty in my Rocky images. I only report it! :) -Laura :D
