When we arrived here 30 mins. prior to this shot, it was a beautiful sunny and clear sky. The skies up here are temperamental. Be prepared when traveling up to your alpine mountains because they can rain or snow on you when you least expect it!
Please don't forget to see Tom for the Sky Watch blogroll!

Wow! autumn already used the word I thought of when I looked at your photo - STUNNING! I love how you can see the rocks under the water so clearly.
Phenomenal Michele!
Stunning, phenomenal ... if this was a contest (which it isn´t) there was no need to see anything else.
You would have knocked out all competition!

Whoa! That shot is amazing. The crystal clear water with the stones. Everything is glorious. Enjoy...
Uow ...This is stunning,the rocks, they look painted at the bottom of the river enhanced by the light of the splendid sky.
I'm speechless. Well, not entirely: superb capture.
This is a delightful picture, one that I know I will come back to over the weekend.
congratulations to this magnificent picture
Very nice Michele, very, very nice! So peaceful scene!
WOW!!!! That was amazing, and the stones, the colour, I LOVE THIS!!!!!
The mountains and sky are wonderful, but those colorful rocks are the real treat for me in this picture.
You live in a beautiful place!
And you are an excellent photographer! :)
Great!
Amazing ones again, Michele! Stunning!
Extraordinary combination of colours and textures! That's without even mentioning the sky! WOW!!
This is one of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen....!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Magnificent composition, Michele.
And you caught the colorful stones in the river as well as the reflection, Michelle! Marvelous!
To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
Incredible angle. Great Nature and photographer. Water, sky, colors...
Your perspective transforms this view into a work of art--and a beautiful stone-filled fountain!
I can't remember how I arrived here, but when I did, I saw the photo and exhaled. It was audible honey, trust me! Beautiful photos, beautiful blog. I'll be back.
Oh, that's right, Bindi. I received an award and traced it's origins and here I am. What a beautiful gift.
XO
What a wonderful photo today Michele! This one has really brought tranquility at the end of a hectic day!
WOW! My jaw dropped to the floor! It looks as though you could pluck a rock straight from this photo! And such a spectacular sky!
A glorious picture! Beautiful reflections.
I love that photo...especially how you can clearly see the stones in the foreground and the mountains in the background! Very peaceful but I used to be in CO every year and I know how quickly the weather can change in the mountains.
Wow, I need a fly line!! Just stunning photos.
I mean, what can a person say? So very beautiful; and I remember how cold those Rocky Mountain streams are. The photo is great!!!!
That shot is stunning!
Beautiful from top to bottom. The water is so clear! I would love to take my shoes off and just walk on those rocks.
This is truly a beautiful photo! Happy skywatch!
Very good and beautiful.
This is about as near perfection as it gets!
You got me speechless, Michele... This is too beautiful to describe. Beautiful brew!
I wanna hug you for this. {{{HUGS}}}
Everything about this picture is spectacular.
Beautiful. Found your blog just following links. Amazing pictures! What are you shooting with?
Beautiful! Two of my favorite things - the sky and rocks - and you photographed them perfectly!
You never fail to deliver the goods. A spectacular image.
This is an absolutely amazing shot! My mom and I love it.

Quite simply a stunning photograph! I like the range it portrays, from the detail in the foreground, the shaded areas on the mountains, and the dark areas of the sky contrasted with the bright.
These are absolutely stunning I would love to go there. Such amazing talent.

I hope you'll forgive me for coming back and leaving a long comment. I just read the Writer's Almanac for today, and this poem made me think of your photo!
For All
by Gary Snyder
Ah to be alive
on a mid-September morn
fording a stream
barefoot, pants rolled up,
holding boots, pack on,
sunshine, ice in the shallows,
northern rockies.
Rustle and shimmer of icy creek waters
stones turn underfoot, small and hard as toes
cold nose dripping
singing inside
creek music, heart music,
smell of sun on gravel.
I pledge allegiance
I pledge allegiance to the soil
of Turtle Island,
and to the beings who thereon dwell
one ecosystem
in diversity
under the sun
With joyful interpenetration for all.
That was a GREAAAATTTTT shot! Perfect....I like it so much. Thanks for sharing that photo. Hope to see more of your beautiful shots next time.
Stunning. I have NEVER seen such clear water. The rock bottom is beautiful and the reflections adds even more beauty to this shot. Oh yeah, and the sky that we are supposed to be looking at is interesting too. Perfect picture.
Amazing... the water is so clear... and the river bed is so beautiful...
Whoa! I just love the perspective in this. So much color and texture! It's simply stunning!

Excellent! One photo that will land National Geographic Magazine! Love it!
This is a very striking photograph, Michele!! I love the perspective, the reflection of the sky in the water, the coloured stones, the mountains, everything!

Pietro
Michele! This is one of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen! Oh so beautiful! I love your photo blog. I don't know how to describe it, the pictures just take my breath away :D
It may be Sky Watch, but to me it was really the stones in the water that got me!
Not to mention the reflection...
This is an amazing photograph! The reflection and the glimpse of the stones in the water are just perfect!
Wow!
I love the reflection of the mountain in the lake. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
That is simply beautiful! I want to be there too.
Hi, im back, now its time to post pics to the blog
Did you use a polarizing filter for that pic, the way the rocks are showing up suggests that to me
You live in such a lovely area. I really like the way you included the stones in the foreground of this shot.
how wonderfull mountains and sky,reflecting.... this is an awsome photo!!!
happy skywatch Greetings from JoAnn
You know, Michele, I just can't help but notice the rocks in this shot, and I am a sky watcher, not normal that I miss out on a storm for rocks, but the way you captured them in this shot, the crystal clarity of the lake, phenomenal.
WOW!
Amazing photo! Love the stones in the water!
That is an unbelievable shot. Hard to believe it's not a painting. I just can't get over how you can see the rocks at the bottom.
Thank you for the climb! This is an amazing, incredible shot!
Nancy
I LOVE the way you have captured the stones in the foreground! Such anamzing photo!
This is an amazing shot. I love how you can see the rocks in the lake. Beautiful!
This is an amazing shot. Look at the river rocks! And you are so right about the unexpected changes you may find up there.
That is just gorgeous. It has to be one of my favorites for the day!
What a cool photo. Well done!
What a breath taking picture !! It looks better then a postcard !
Excellent composition and brilliant shot!
Michele, what other to say but this photo is just spectacular! You are really amazing!
Michele, I am not usually lost for words (in fact some might say I have a tendency to use too many, hehe) but this picture leaves at a loss because none of the superlatives that come to mind are adequate! Thanks for sharing your beautiful part of the world with such superb images. The post above, jeeping, is also great!
Wow, yes, that is seriously stunning! I love the foreground. I actually just read this week about how important focusing on an interesting foreground is. Often we are too interested in the subject matter, that we neglect the stuff around it. You did an amazing job!!!!
That pictue is awesome...you really know what you are doing...you are an amazing photographer. Thanks for sharing the wonders and beauty of our planet earth!
Gorgeous shot of the lake! I love the reflection and seeing the rocks in the water.
This photo is amazing. I don't even think the rocks are as colorful on Lake Roosevelt to catch a photo like this!
Huh, what a depth. This must be one of those 5/5 pics. EXCELLENT.
Above and below are one! Great photo.
Best SWF ever! Everything is captured in this beauty! Such clear clean water and the rocks?
Outstanding photography!
Wow Michele, this is a stunning photo. Great view
Simply breathtaking! I love your mountain retreat.
