There are moments when every element combines to create the perfect photo. Such was the case when we stumbled across this lake in Colorado's high country, outside of Leadville, during a summer vacation with our young daughters. Like Forrest Gump, we had trouble telling where the earth ended and the sky began.

Water so still that it created a mirror-like surface reflected miles of serene, verdant peaks as billowy clouds cast interesting shadows across the landscape, and parched, yellowed grass framed the lake edge. As the girls and my husband took in the mesmerizing view, I captured the moment and scene for matting, framing and forever.
