Give Your Life New Meaning.

This is just so beautiful! Miss LOTW, you have outdone yourself on this masterpiece!! An outstanding job! #11209565Mary K. Robison December 20, 2014
I'm always fascinated by your DD work with SP's, Pom. The forest makes a lovely background, and the rainbow colors and sky are a great match with your Indian clothing. Another impressive job! #11209649Laura E. Swan December 20, 2014
Hi Everyone. I was trying to show the difference between the dead Tree and the rain that brought the rainbow. I hope I was able to achieve this?? :) I was going to name this New Hope. :) I love your visits. Thanks all! #11209657Wm Nosal December 20, 2014 1

You really achieved a great result with this one Sister Swanee!Val Feldman December 20, 2014
My Lady of the Woods - Whenever I think of you, I see you surrounded by forest beauty (because you live in the middle of some of the most beautiful country around) and I also see a wise soul (who like the Native Americans) accepts that beauty with gratitude and respect. In my mind's eye, this remarkable image suits who you and what you believe perfectly! Excellent work! #11209893Amanda J. Tanner December 20, 2014

Hi Ladies! How nice to have visitors! :D And two of my favorites at that! :)))) This area is rich with Canadian Native Indian ways and history. I feel akin to them. This image means a lot to me. I hope the judges notice it this time around. Would be special for me. Thanks for all you have said and for your very welcomed visit! SPRING is here.

I have always loved this shot, Laura!! Outstanding work!! #11444683Laura E. Swan March 09, 2016
Hi Ellen, Laura Lee, Shelly and Terry! We were actually with BPers Ron and Shirley McEwan when I took this. It was a magical moment when we pulled over to get the rainbow and I just felt it merited something soulful to complete it with that tree there on the left. It was a Yin/Yang moment for me clicking the shutter. I really appreciate your comments and the visit!! :) #11444716Lydia Williams March 10, 2016
Great to see this again...Love it! #11445161Laura E. Swan October 26, 2016
