I'd Like To Dedicate This Image To
MY BP TWIN SISTER: Lorna Shutter !
This week I have been sharing images with her from my
ROCKY MOUNTAIN ARCHIVES -2011
And She Really Liked This One!
She used my favorite two words while describing how it struck her.
"National Geographic!"
(SOLD! I'm ENTERING IT! HA!)
Thanks Dooner's for your Vote of Confidence! :) xo

Can you believe I shot this in SEPTEMBER!? IN THE FALL! Is that pathetic? SNOW in the FALL! This same Mtn is likely pure white right now. I shot this in the early hours of the day in a town called Canmore. One Town before the Banff National Park Gate. Dale and I were on our way to meet wonderful BPers, (Courtenay V. and Hubby Tom). Miraculously when we got to the town of Banff to pick them up we saw a bit of blue skies that just kept getting better!
We had a fantastically fun day of photo shooting and a big picnic by a lake!
That's life in the high country! Always an adventure!
Thanks for the visit and Heather you'll be home soon enough! Enjoy the tropics! :) !!!

Michelle, THANK YOU DEAR FRIEND! WOW! :))))

Monnie! Really? :))) You guys have me beaming! Thank you!!!

Oh Twin Sister ;D You are so VERY welcome. Oh..You know what? What I failed to mention is that I didn't make this into a B&W! This is straight from the camera, too. I might have curved it a little. It was a while back now and am not sure. Anyway I like the original size best too. Agreed. And thanks so much for inspiring me to enter this one. :) Thanks for being who you are in GENERAL!

SSSKiki!!! :)))) Well....You might just have to show me the "ropes" with National Geo. I'm just a little tiny monkey and I don't swing very far from the BP TREE! :))) Thank you for all you said!
HAVE WONDERFUL DAYS and EVENINGS Everyone!

Emile I hope your "tour" stops in Banff. Will it?
*
Brother John then let it be so and add a beautiful lake to your vision, too. They fill the Rockies!
*
Tammy it's so wild and rugged here and gorgeous in so many areas. I expect Daniele Boone to go trekking by at any moment with snow shoes on and a raccoon in his leather sack, and yet things are very modern and clean and pretty, too. The best of both worlds!
*
Thank You Neal. :)
*
Hi Ujjwal! Long time no see! Thanks friend!
*
Sister, all of you have already made this a winner in my heart! :)
Thank you for the neato trophy, WOW!
You guys are the best! :)) All of you!

Hi Mare! :))) I wish I could describe how I feel while shooting in the Rockies. They humble a person so much and touch part of our souls that appreciate God so much!
*
Hi Lyn!! :))) Nice to see you! Well, I guess at the very least I'd better re-enter this image. BP is not maybe seeing what so many of you are. It's a stunning image at full size. Thanks for your vote!

Hi Rey! A far cry from the beautiful tropical Philippines! But beauty none the less! :D Always a joy to see you here!
That goes for the rest of you, too!
