I'm so happy to share this place with all of you. There is a reflection bench there EXACTLY like the one I shared with you a hand full of images ago.Each bench is solid wood, like that, and bought by a private person or family and dedication plaques are on them. This one said:
"In memory of Margaret and Roger Harvey who found peace and joy among these mountains"... :)
So did I. So will you if you ever come to visit.
THANK YOU EVERYONE and:
Walter, NEAT to know your heritage! Thanks!
Nancy G.- You're welcome! :)
YES MONNIE!!! The EVERYTHING! :)
Mr. Tree...You'd love to live right at this pond. I know it and there are TONS of little spiders I bet. My sincere condolences.
I'm so glad to have been able to take you all here for a moment in time. Come back any time and stare at this till you smile.
THANKS TO EACH OF YOU! I really enjoyed your comments here!

What a wonderful week you must have spent up there! Such beautiful places, which you have captured so well (image and mood)! #7693773Susie Peek-Swint June 30, 2009
Beautiful scene Laura .. I can smell that clean air all the way over here! #7694155Laura E. Swan June 30, 2009
* It really WAS a wonderful trip, Marisol. It's hard to go wrong in the Rockies. In June we get snow, rain, sun, WIND & SLEET in the high country. So long as you have propane and electricity in the RV you really don't suffer. You just enjoy the view!* WOW SUSIE! What a wonderful nose you have on you! :D
Thanks for the smiles ladies -Laura #7694928
