Thank you everyone. He looked so happy riding around. It was my good fortune to get him in the frame.He was going slow, Ann, and I -did- wonder if he'd ride off the path into the Lake!!! HA! ...He actually ended up stopping to enjoy it right afte this shot.
SSSKiki, I LOVE that book of yours. So many of our favorite images are in it! ;)
I was going to slip off to bed early but alas! I had fun going to each of your galleries to see your terrific work tonight, instead!
Night night all!

Maybe I should offer the BP judges to have a look into MY book sometime, huh? There would be many winners that they hadn't thought of, I'm sure :0)Renee Doyle September 07, 2009

A perfectly wonderful shot, Laura. Showing a non-posing person in a landscape always adds that certain "something." #7921586Tammy M. Anderson September 07, 2009
Lovely capture and reflection, Laura. #7921683Monnie Ryan September 07, 2009
Gorgeous scene, Laura -- hope that biker is on some kind of trail and not trying to pedal through that high brush! ;-) What a great view he's got! #7921812Kay E. Mahoney September 07, 2009
Nice capture, Laura. Beautiful scene. Love the reflection. #7921906Ron McEwan September 07, 2009
This is a terrific image, with all the elements, very well done as usual my friend. #7922049Laura E. Swan September 07, 2009
Thank you all!!! I enjoyed each comment very much!!!Actually they look close to the lake don't they? This is actually a very steep hill and it was quite a ways down.
The path is single and goes all the way around the lake. I'll attach a photo or two of the very spot they were in.
Tons of bees there so they didn't stay too long!!! HA! Worked out good for me so I could get closer in to the lake for even more shots and angles.

It's so well seen and captured, the addition of the biker into this fantastic landscape with the awesome reflections and all, puts it over the top. Nice job Laura! #7923857Robert K. Bemus September 08, 2009
Gorgeous reflections and capture, Laura!! #7924040Lorna Shutter September 08, 2009
Wow! Gorgeous capture, Sis!!! Beautiful clarity and reflection! Looks like it could be an ad for something! Your hubby's a funny guy! LOL! You two are perfect for each other! :) #7926905Jack R. Perry September 09, 2009
Wonderful shot Laura! #7929501Laura E. Swan September 09, 2009
Hi M.T., Reynaldo, Robert, Sis and Jack...I agree Mr Tree. Sitting is best here. There is a nice bench made of FABULOUS WOOD too. :)
I like to stand or walk with my camera so I can make it around and get pictures from every angle.
Hubby on the other hand likes to scare the tourists with his UN-SUN tan. :)
Yes Sister Doone, he can be a ham alright.
Thanks guys for the nice reviews too. I was so happy when the biker/s cruised on by! CLICK, CLICK, CLICK!
