Blue and clouds
they fill our souls
dance
the flight of birds
the golden sun
shines warmth
upon our wings
and we take flight
glory be
peace does fill
our souls
spilling over
with love
to be
to share
with all

Something in me wants to honor the beauty of today, the sky and poetry that rise with today's sun. Yet today I share images from October 2008 and a poem I wrote in 1979. In a sense I find the blue skied images a wonderful treat amongst all our gray days. If you want to see our gray day look at my last post.
The first image was taken on the East side of the Rocky Mountains. The next image is nearing home.
An hour after I published this post the sun rose, peaking through dark clouds lighting up my world. I have to share an image of the sky today:
To see more Sky images go to Sky Watch Friday
To see more scenic images go to Scenic Sunday

Very, very very BEAUTIFUL!!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful and what lovely colors. Your composition is terrific too. And what poetic words! You live in a gorgeous spot. Greetings from NorCal!
ReplyDeleteYes, these beautiful photos of blue sky were very nice to see today. We have been having many grey days here where I am as well. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWow, I think that your first shot with the cloud seemingly being held up by the trees is stunning, and your uplifting poem, which describes is beautifully is perfect... nice to revisit that stuff during times of gray...
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots with beautiful words.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos with lovely colors, good swf.
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful... I imagine those are Aspen trees...which when I lived out west someone told me that Aspens are the largest type of bush and are actually not trees...apparently they are all connected to one another making it a bush system. Crazy fact!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in these pictures. Thanx for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your generous words on my Sky Watch photo.
ReplyDeleteI've thoroughly enjoyed looking through all your shots - you have a compelling eye for composition and you, like me, are drawn to the beauty of Nature.
Lovely work all through. Do keep in touch.
We are having a bleak day of our own today, and the bright skies and rich colors you left here for us to find were a real gift. xxoo
ReplyDeleteincredible shots, love the first one.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL PHOTOS!!
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend!!
So hopeful! My spirit is soaring!
ReplyDeleteOh I really love that last shot. Just gorgeous looking at the sky through those bare trees. So you are a former Southern Californian and now you get to enjoy 4 distinct seasons...
ReplyDeleteThe second picture reminds me of a light and dark fingers intertwined...the harmony of joy and sorrow.
ReplyDeleteI love your photography! The last one is a stunner. I actually went WOW when I saw it. The light is captivating. :)
ReplyDeleteI just love the way you capture an image. Very talented.

Wonderful images. That cloud caught in the tree branches, and the snow on the red (?) fruits on the tree are my favorites. Looks like your blog is in bloom.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures with vivid colour. I love the birch trees reaching to the sky. Lovely accompanying words too.
ReplyDelete"Shining Warmth Upon Our Wings" I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures. You live in a special place!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog - you mentioned that an 8 hour drive through the scenery of northern Laos would take you two days. I wish I could take that time; however, my staff know that if they allowed me to, I'd have them stop every five meters for another picture. So I ration the times for stopping by drinking lots of water. I can't get them to stop as often as I like, but they do know that we have to pause for comfort stops... with camera.
Very nice ! There is something mesmerizing about clouds. Not sure what it is, but I like them. Fantastic photos !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images all: the blue is gorgeous. My favorite is yesterday's sky.
ReplyDeleteAll these wonderful comments have touched my heart and continue to inspire the artist and lover of life in me. Thank you!

The pictures are absolutely gorgeous and fitting companions to the words of your poem. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSuch incredible beuty! Love the birches with a hat of clouds and both other shots as well. That limpid light in the Rockies is a joy to photogtaph in. Nice poetry and sentiments as well.
ReplyDeleteYour poem and first photo comforts my tired spirit. Thank you.One with a heavy heart..NG
ReplyDeleteHow cheery and heart-lifting those blue sky photos with the trees reaching up to the white puffy clouds! Your words make me so happy. And then there's that last photo...oooh, deeply mysterious looking, like the veil between both worlds is lifting.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely compliments on my journal and your warm, heartful, healing wishes to me!
you have a great eye for beautiful skies and great photo taking!
ReplyDeleteI love the little cloud hoovering above the birch forest =) The second photo looks so inviting for longs walks in the dark forest. There must be an amazing ramge of animals hiding in there. The last photo is great! Quite spooky!
ReplyDeleteI love your Scenic photos- so beautiful colours!//Eva
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful pictures but the last one is my favorite; such a great background.
ReplyDeleteAh, so beautiful. I love that kind of landscape. Makes me want to head that way again.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Thank you for the beautiful blue skies - just what I needed on this grey, overcast northern day.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem, too.
Cheers!
