22apr13 Earth Day chlg - Nature

Ohhh! This picture is so beautiful, and so alive, yet serene! I love the gradient from sky to water. I've never seen this quotation before; it's a keeper. Thank you for sharing with us.

very lovely

Beautiful photo! Beautiful photo effect! Beautiful blending! I especially love how the birds seem to be flying out of the flowers. I also agree with jhbren, above, that it is alive yet serene, and I think the colors help with those feelings.

Oh Jode how beautiful and what an appropriate Earth Day page! Your photo is exquisite and your beautiful blending and full-size make me feel I am right there in that peaceful spot. Lovely journaling/poem and how pretty the flowers are coming along the edges. I love your title too - it is perfect for an Earth Day Nature layout. Super work and thanks for participating in today's Earth Day challenge!

Jode, the moment I looked at this only one word came to my mind....LOVE! It is just so beautiful!

This is just gorgeous. I really like the placement of the flower border.

Very very pretty. Great verse...

Just gorgeous.

This is beautiful! Love the photos, poem, and well, everything!

Simply breathtakingly beautiful.

I love the photo, blending and word art. Awesome layout.

Super sensational Jody. You have created an outstandingly beautiful page. Love every bit. Especially that mighty River. Kay

Another picture I've just saved to my inspiration list. It just makes me feel relaxed looking at it.

Stunning! I love the lifted title (and the font) and the hints of texture from the paper you've blended into the large photo!
