may the stars carry your sadness away
may the flowers fill your heart with beauty
may your hope forever wipe away your tears
and, above all, may your silence make you strong

What a spectacular picture! Your words are wonderful too!
I just discovered your blog!
I am now following you!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for posting!

I love your steemit name.....so many meanings. Thanks for the follow and I'm glad to meet you.

Beauty of a photo! Very nicely processed, too. I love that moody sky!

thank you @fotosdenada. Moody it was. And closing shop for the day. :)

Such a beautiful, brooding photo taken from 'the Chief' that echoes the Chief's words :)

That's what I was going for when editing....it was a brooding late afternoon and the Chief being so humungous.....just had to have a shot without slipping off the rock. I was very nervous gotta say.

okay, but that was dumb - don't take risks for a photo - even a beautiful one :)

Beautiful countryside! The lake is so green too.

My son explained why this part of the ocean is green - something about the run off from the mountains, I can't remember. But it is very torqoise when the sun hits it and darkens depending on the weather. I often wonder if it has anything to do with logging - there is some that goes on close by.

The Chief is a granite dome that sometimes sparkles too but it's really slippery.

So that is ocean! It is beautiful scenery!

Yup, the Pacific....brrr....

I see the snow on the mountains. Makes great contrast in the shot!

Spectacular scenery beautifully captured @countrygirl Love the quote at the top too. Upvoted and resteemed.

Thank you so much @trudeehunter. I appreciate your comment.

WOW that's an amazing scenery!

It is....you should see it in person!! But not too close to the edge. It's slippery.

Some day I will make my way over the pond, Canada is on my bucket list for sure. You guys have truly stunning nature. It reminds me a lot of our own nature here in Norway in many ways. I guess that's probably because we share a common longitude position on the globe :)

I think so yes. But yes come to Canada....friendly people and lots to do and see.

This is a great picture, have a good day ♥

Glad you liked it, have a good night :)

Amazing photo, I am very successful lighting. You managed to fit what you wanted and with the work of edificion you finished giving it that magical touch. The photo looks very good and natural. Of course we give thanks to GOD for the lenses that you have (18-55mm and 55mm-200mm) hehe je je

That's BEAUTIFUL! I love the quote!

Glad you enjoyed it. The quote makes a nice blessing or sign off to a greeting or something like that.

The most beautiful sky and the most dangerous journey...Nooo..this is impossible to make such wonderful pictures ! you must use some spells :DD fan-tas-tic .Excellent shot my friend, very beautiful atmosphere... great work. Many compliments and greetings, Ceren N.

Thank you @artizm for such a beautifully encouraging comment! I sincerely appreciate your words.

Beautiful. Is the water frozen?

No, not frozen. It doesn't freeze in this spot because it's the ocean - the Pacific. There are some smaller glacial lakes that do freeze and they freeze clean so it looks like see through glass....it's weird and I won't walk on it....!! It's safe, but I don't feel like it is.

I wouldn't have known this 'mountain lake' was an ocean inlet. How beautiful and stilling. Such majesty within the mountains. Beautifully photographed @countrygirl.

Yes it's called Howe Sound....and it snakes around a mountain or two to the ocean. That's ocean water. And the town is just to the right of the water. The rock at the front is granite and is about 700m high - it's called The Chief and is a favored rock climbing and hiking spot. Well known to people who do those sports.

Must be an invigorating place to live close by to. Would be great to hike and photograph the journey through these mountains. 🦋

That's what I do when I visit. I feel like it's all I talk about on here - about wanting to go back to the mountains....but I do. It's my second home....or maybe should be my first. :) I'm going in a few months so I'll have a lot to share.

Wonderful. 🦋🙏🦋

What an amazing scene! Im getting caught up on your posts!
