So what's for lunch? :-)Laura E. Swan July 13, 2009
Hi Jodi, Mariann and Barbara! :)Thanks very much for your comments. I had fun framing this one. It "worked" almost any way I turned. The Rockies are AMAZING!
If you look closely across the lake, above the shoreline, you can see a road there. This really gives the image some scale! HUGE!
Humm...for lunch...Let me look in the basket here: AH YES!
BBQ Chicken, AAA Alberta Rib Eye Steak, French Bread with Bree & Sharp cheeses, potato salad...Humus & Peta Bread, oh and I see some chocolate and WHAT'S THIS? KEY LIME PIE??? IN CANADA??? COOL!!!
Hope you're hungry! -Laura :D
