You have captured a special perspective of the beauty I have heard so much of, Patti. Your low view with deep depth of field places me in the setting in a most pleasing way. Really nice work here!

Hey Patricia, sorry for taking so long to respond to your comment on my finalist, but I can tell you that canoeing in that lovely adirondack lake must have been about as wonderful as your swiming in this most incredable Mediterranean spot!!! Ok, maybe not QUITE that wonderful, but, perhaps close :D :D

Wow. You had me at the Title, Patti. Wonderful.

That water is so beautiful. Like a midnight blue! WOW! I fear for that little boat, crashing into the beautiful and massive rock cliff wall but alas...the expert boaters there know how and where to anchor! Amazing.

I am so glad you took this trip. :) I see more gorgeous images to view. Better get at them!

(Lol @ Wm ... Surfing in Canmore! Hehe!)
