Jane -Your photo ‘Aspens, Colorado’ to me feels interactive.. like I am breathing in the clean fresh air there. ‘Maroon Bells’ is stunning reflection of the snow. . Barrier reef – fab composition w clouds & a tough get I would imagine through airplane window. Beautiful set! Dsup

Thank you very much, Diane. Aspen is a magical place. And, yes, the Barrier Reef was from a small plane in an impending storm so that was lucky.
