Morning sunlight is subtle
it pours through a thin layer of off white clouds
all is painted in pearlescent light
soft shadows of gray show off
impressions left in the crusty surface of snow
who passed when I was not here
will they pass when I am some day
there is enough warmth in this frozen morning
to release the scent of the trees
I walk inhaling
feeling the scent permeate my insides
I feel as though a tree now lives
within

heading up the N.Fork, I love how I can see the lines of the hills in winter:
there's no road under that snow! I have to say 'tis a lovely place to wait to be rescued. Seven people stopped to ask if I need help, the last person with skill, was able to pull me out. I love Montana!:
in town:
sunset can takes ones breath awayreplacing it with light:

So many beautiful photos! Tank you for sharing with Sky Watch Friday, simply stunning views.
ReplyDeleteThese are all so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. And if you have to be stuck in the snow (with dangerously low sub-Arctic temperatures), Montana is probably the place to be: Friendly people; well prepared. Be careful, though, friend -- stay warm!
ReplyDeleteWow! These are all amazing...love them! The photo of the valley and mountains almost looks like a drawing...so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures. Our friends from the Bitterroot Valley are down here for several months. I'll tell them about your blog.
ReplyDeleteExquisite photo blog you have here:)
ReplyDeleteI love all the blues and whites and all the shades in between! Crisp like fresh linen! :)
ReplyDeleteYou and your heaven are certainly on a roll. Years ago, during tai chi, I felt the tree within me as well.
ReplyDeleteChocolate mountains covered by powder-sugar snow. Looks good enough to eat.

Snow and ice can be so beautiful and a horror movie when it comes to drive !
ReplyDeleteIt's just so funny how people are so blind to words and what wondrous imagery they behold. Not one person mentioned your poem and it is really good. Just add a little warmth and one can merge with the essence of life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful account of being one with nature. Your writing is wonderful, and it transports my mind to what you experienced. The photos are a lovely accompaniment to the poem. I'm glad you enjoyed your moment of slowing down on the side of the road. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting such BEAUTIFUL photos. I LOVE them all! Thank goodness you were rescued:)
ReplyDeleteA bit more cold than we have it at the moment! Those "teeth" were terrifying.
ReplyDeleteWOW, your photo's are great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and thank you for commenting on my blog!
Take care and keep warm

Winter can be so beautiful, can't it? Nice photos!
ReplyDeleteWow! What stunning shots, I love those icicles. I am glad someone helped you out too :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snow - so clean and white! That's a sharp drop at the edge of the road - glad you got help and on your way again.
