ReplyDeleteI've always been fascinated by oceans. It's just amazing how big they are!
DeleteThose pictures are wonderful -- especially that reflection! I'm so glad we live close to the ocean!
ReplyDeleteI was so pleased with that photo! It was taken at Yellowstone, and captured the beauty of the lake so perfectly.
DeleteWonderful Wealth of Mother Nature. Love the pictures.
