That’s a smashing shot Eve. The flower bed in front really sets the scene of well.

Lawd have mercy, that is gorgeous. Right on about the flower bed. I'm telling ya, I ain't never seen one country with so much beauty. And yet, I don't hear a lot about this as a vacation spot compared to Hawaii and the like. Count your blessings, one by one. This is a keeper.

Such a wonderful view with all the mountains around the lake. The blue of the water and the sky compliment each other and the foreground with flowers makes the composition very beautiful.

Hey Owd Timer. Don't be trying to steal our lake. This is just another great one Lyn. After looking at this I must agree with Henry David. Great colors and I love the foreground and how it leads you out to the lake and mountains. Wonderful.

A wonderful scene to be sure with the little flower garden by the shore. Nicely composed and the border brings out all the wonderful colors.

Wonderfully composed scenic, Lyn. Very fitting quote from _Walden_. I hope you don't have his mosquito around to sing his morning song. ;-)

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Another beautifully composed shot with tremendous colours. The two parallel diagonal lines really make this and draw you out across the sky. I'm such a fan of your stuff.
