Laura E. Swan level-classic February 26, 2009

Good morning everyone! How special to see you are here in the Rockies with me enjoying the view. I think we should rent a sky boat and go for it? What do YOU think? That water is often like GLASS. Perfect for such a thing.

There is something about the minerals in the water up here, too, that is so good for a persons skin. Keeps it soft and healthy. EVEN YOUTHFUL! (No one here grows older than 48!)

IT'S VERY REFRESHING if you can stand the heat or chill. (Our hot springs here are VERY healing. Only 12 minutes drive from this Lake).

I am so happy you are all really liking this image. Makes me proud to lay it at your feet. -Laura #7218153

Nadya Johnson February 26, 2009

Woo hoo! I am FINALLY back!! What a STUNNING landscape, Laura! Makes me want to be up there. This is really gorgeous! I will write soon - now that I finally have internet again (it has been awhile!!) #7218240

Laura E. Swan level-classic February 26, 2009

Nadya! You have transformed from a kitten to horse! Perfect for the Rockies. Let's go horseback riding after boating! Cool. Welcome home!!!
