You guys sure know how to make me wake up on the right side of the bed! It's a joy to come read your responses! :) Thanks for tiptoeing. I slept very well thank you! HA!How fun. One of you has been right here and the rest of you want to be on the tour bus! HEY! COOL!
Yes, it's cold here but you can see what we get in return. And the air just doesn't get more fresh either.
WARM COAT & HAT, DRY SOCKS! :) Mandatory! ;)
Ray- I will come see your picture! So neat that you were standing right where I was not long ago. I love the walk through the woods around the Lake there too. Maybe you walked it as well?
Thanks so much each of you for what you have added here! You have really made my Canadian Morning BRIGHT!
-Laura :)
(Naturist Mag, Cool Max! Thanks!!!)

Fantastic scenery, terrific pov, view, details, lighting and color. Superb photo!!! #7294138Sharon March 17, 2009
Gorgeous!! Your composition is perfect!!Laura E. Swan March 19, 2009
Last to First:Hi Steve! I'm glad you liked this one. That large log was on the left edge of the right 1/3 grid line. Yet, I still felt it worked. Glad you felt it was okay, too.
A dead tree isn't always a great leading line (HA!) but I felt the roots really reached out for the patch of snow.
That's really neat that you noticed this! I thought only I had!
I did saturate this image a bit. Do you think it was -too- much???
Thanks a lot for dropping in. Great to see you!

Thank you Ann. I love this Lake. It's not huge but it's beautiful. :)* * *
Hi Momj! It's snowing like crazy here this morning. Just like Christmas! We are snowed in!!! That's Canada for you!
I am honored that you are starting a jar for your trip up! :) June is chilly but you will see more wildlife that month and July/Aug are when the bulk of the tourists are here because of the nice weather. No matter when you come CANADA is GORGEOUS!
Thanks for your kind words and support!

Laura, this image brings back memories for me. I camped on the edge of one of these pristine lakes in Banff in the 70s but not sure which one. One summer I rode on the back of a friend's 750 Honda from Creston to Banff and still remember the endless beauty of the area.I had just come back from backpacking in Europe to discover I had travelled half way around the world to find out I lived in one of the most beautiful places on earth. They don't call it "Beautiful British Columbia" for nothing.:) Alberta Rockies included, of course. LOL
The color of the lake is exactly like your photos!!! Congratulations on capturing the beauty of Banff. #7316375
Laura E. Swan March 22, 2009
Sharon! I loved every word you just wrote here. Thanks for taking the time to say some things that meant a lot to you. I am so glad my image here brought back good days in your heart and mind. That camp trip sounded really great and so did the realization that the grass was greenest right at home. (And ALBERTA! HA!) COOL! It really is so breath taking here.Thanks for backing me up! :) !!! -Laura #7316452
