The Park, Glacier National Park

as the sun nears the horizon

snow shows off the beach boulders in a different way

without sunlight the rocks colors are muted, appealing in a earth toned way

reflections are day dream beauties

tucked into that far off canyon, it is snowing

Late Autumn

autumn rains were most welcome 

after a dry summer

(I wish I could send it to California, along with the snow we got)

peppermint drop lichen

on an old log in the woods

seeing aqua logs in the woods is always a joy

they can be found, but not that many

autumn colors are past now

it was a lovely season

then the snow arrived....

so darn pretty

I thought winter arrived

but in most places it has melted away

( I live in a snow belt, the snow is still here )

the gentle lovely light of sunset

autumn leaning towards winter

lovely days and nights to you

Early Spring

meadows of snow

turn to creeks and lakes

along edges artful ice bathed in shadow

and sunlight

colors and shapes

reflections that dance

colored by last autumns grass

 and shadows

grace ongoing snow

Spring is a SLOW slow dance in NW Montana

first day of spring

half way to the longest day of sunlight

woke to fresh snow

though spring is here

winter lingers with farewells

to

this side of the world

Happy Spring

to

the other

Happy Autumn!

Blue Skies....

it was a blue skied day
so i took to the road
to visit snow capped mountains

converse with aspen birch and pine
dressed in sunlight and shadows
to meet with subtle yet true signs of spring

to listen to the songs of creeks river and lapping lake 

along the rock adorned shore

the sort of day that enhances spirit

opens the heart

to the breath of life

it was a blue skied sunshiny day

Water Play

sometimes the sun comes out to play

yet Spring is often cloudy here:

rocks in pastel colors

are a wonderful sight

nights are cold

surface water freezes

freezes and thaws

the ever changing expressions of spring

Icy Splendor

an intimate look

ice 

light

stones

lake

reflection

icy treasures

on winter shores

Fabric of Life

rose

grays

light minty green

wings like i have never seen

endless array

fabric of life 

is on display

Autumn's

dancing waters

Italy's Clear Mountain Water

Italy's high mountain water

and colorful rocks

sparkling clear

bubbling music for all to hear

ripples and reflections a delight

beauty in life always feels right

Winters Eye Candy

winter's breath of icy cold
brings life to faceted ice bestowed
a gift for all whom get to see
the icy lake surface
and pebbles whom bed below
