Jack-Path, I think that's a shadow dancer but until now I only thought it
was a local legend! WOW! (HA!)

Hi SZ. It's was a WORMS EYE for sure. Now that I'm back home, I'll be working on grass stain views. (sigh)...
Mr. Tree...YES there WAS a bear! They had warning signs out all over. It was spooky and tons of people had seen the one hanging out at the little lake...I, on the other hand was CLEVER and DIDN'T WEAR MY BELLS! That way he couldn't find me and eat me! HA! (GREAT TIP!)
*
Thanks Monnie! I think I agree with you!
*
Ron, it was great! In high elevations, the weather is VERY changeable. We got rain half of the time but the one sunny day I went for it with the photos! :) MORE TO COME! (SOON THIS WILL BE YOU!)
*
Thanks Dave. Me, too!
*
Thanks Tammy-Girl and Tiia Girl!
*
Hi Gord! You sure might have been. This is actually part of the Bow Valley National Park Campground. :)
*
Thank you Chris. I know. It really was a toss up so I posted both. I read that BP doesn't much care for the soft edges while judging...but in certain instances I think they are really pretty! :)

Hi SSSKiki!! You are so sweet, my sister! The grasses there and reeds really were a bonus. I remember saying, "WOW", right before I took this one. The Rockies are so gorgeous. It's fun to work out COMPS while shooting. Lots to work with!
*
Thank Julianne! I did too! :)
*
Lynne, your comment gave a me a huge smile. That's a really nice compliment for me. Thank you!!! :)

Oh Earl-y Pearl. When you sigh, the world sighs with you! HA!
Thank you all so much! What a great way to wake up. To positive feedback and seeing you all here!

I liked the grasses, as well, Wm! That river was really wide, too, so it was ALL a bit of an optical illusion!!!
Tammy and Kerry, it really IS beautiful there! I don't remember there being that many Rockies in that area but there are! It was a really great surprise!
SO WAS THE BEAR! HA! Didn't seem him but he was LOOMING. We were told to be BEARY BEARY careful! ALL the campers were on HIGH ALERT!
Thanks again! -Laura :) #7850950

HEY! BOTH of my BP buddies that call me Lala commented next to each other. I thought I would pause a moment to reflect on this and smile. :)
Hi Teresa! Gosh you are so right. I was born and raised close to San Francisco, an iconic place of beauty...but never have I seen more majesty than the Canadian Rockies. They are so beautiful and I am happy to share them with you.
I hope we see this one again, too, Teresa. :) I keep throwing darts on the board here at BP. Something has to be a bulls eye. I keep waiting! :)
Thank you both again! -Laura :) #7853534
