Laura E. Swan level-classic June 29, 2009

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!

Beautiful scene Laura .. I can smell that clean air all the way over here! #7694155

Laura E. Swan level-classic June 30, 2009

* 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 #7694928

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. #7695014

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!
