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
