Sunny days in our winter land can be quite rare. Yet if one immerses in the days that behold the sun.... they will survive with great spirit.
great spirit is abundant
when inner light
is ones friend
is ones friend

Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, the contrast is beautiful. The pictures remind me of the two day stubble on a man's face! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSmiles :}
OK, apologies because I'm probably going to sound a bit like a retarded eejit here: are those trees on the slopes (I think so) or shrubs? I'm a bit disorientated because stupidly enough I would have expected evergreens... Such a gorgeous blue summer ;-) sky against the pristine white is simply perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you wild places lover ;-) for visiting Versailles city where all wilderness has been tamed, and have a good weekend, full of inner (and outside) light!
Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteyou made me laugh ;-)
Cieldequimper,
the reason it is odd is due all the trees were burned in a forest fire, so they are black!
Thanks for asking and visiting.
What incredible blue,and the texture in the mountains is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt's like getting one's battery charged. I am looking into enlarging my capacity.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying we should dissolve our encasings (burned trees)to feel and absorb the light more? :) Or do you feel we need to move beyond the bark to reflect the light of the sun?
ReplyDeleteStunning photos! :)
ReplyDeleteN. Moments ~
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your thoughts on our oh so many possibilities. My thoughts with this post are~ the sun absolutely enhances and uplifts our spirits and feeds our physical being. Yet my sense is that we don't have to rely on the sun to have spirit dancing in us, we have a light within that is full of the spirit of life.
The snowy mountains are beautiful but the sky is a gorgeous blue. I guess these pictures show why Montana is called the Big Sky Country.
ReplyDeleteWhat an intense blue sky!
ReplyDeleteVery good photos! the contrast between the mountains and the sky is perfect!
ReplyDeleteRegards
Great post and such wonderful shots. The contrast in the sky and mountain and winter trees is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI was confused too until I read about the forest fire, What an unusual vista it left behind and you captured it wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteTammie - they are stunning!! I was thinking how, as we live out here - we forget how amazingly blue the sky is!! Beautiful work hon!! Sarah
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing Yellowstone look like this after a forest fire, the trees like walking dead. The wildflowers that springs were beautiful, though.
ReplyDeleteThese days, sunlight feels like something to gulp. Spring cannot come too soon.
Lovely how the light reflects of the snowy surface. Great collection of shots!
ReplyDeleteThis was just what I needed today. I've had a full schedule of patients who are all coming in later. I can tap into my own inner light to remind myself of the abundance of light and beauty around me.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing--as if the landscape were made of fabric!
ReplyDeleteWow! These are incredible! The middle one is stunning. Fascinating capture.
ReplyDeleteYou live in paradise. I bet these hills and mountains are simply amazing when the trees have all their leaves. Can't wait to see.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding photos, I just had to add your blog to my followers list so i can return often to see more of your work.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

I was wondering like cieldequimper those black lines. Was there a bush fire like Australia?
ReplyDeleteHi Ann,
ReplyDeleteYes there was a bush fire. It was quite a while ago, before I lived here. I wish I could tell you when, a quick google search did not give me the answer I was hoping for. In some areas small trees are growing. We get a lot of bush fires from lightening and other causes. Last summer we were lucky and in our area we were pretty much smoke free. The summer before we had a fire that impacted us for a month. With summer seeming so short as a season it felt as though our summer was taken away to brown skies and smoke that was hard to breath.
Thanks for asking.
Tammie
Warm greetings to you too ! Stunning blue sky!! Mountains look like fabric folds with a bit 'stubble'!! Scrolled down to see more - beautiful photos - will pop by again!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment
Tammie: Those mountains look wonderful with the neat blue sky behind.
ReplyDeleteYes, sunny days are rare in winter and usually very cold too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMontana is one of the prettiest places on earth! These are gorgeous shots. Fire is awful for us and the animals to live through, but so good for our forests.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post!
Beautiful brightness to liven the spirits!
ReplyDeleteThis all looks so familiar Tammie!!! And what a special "day after your birthday-day it was" on the North Fork Road, spending a glorious day together!!! I loved every lingering stop along the 35 mile gravel, but snow-covered road!!! Lets do it again sometime soon!!

Thank you Tammie for the lovely comment on my Santa painting and paper puppet.
ReplyDeleteAlways a joy to view your photographs.

How magnificent. The ripple of all those bare trees against the snowy mountain looks almost like a tapestry softly blowing in the wind.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, especially like the first one.

Amazing shots! Those trees and the shadows - awesome and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots. Those thin and straight branches look like hair on the mountains.
ReplyDeleteFound you through Milly. The mountains remind me of Hemingway's short masterpiece...Hills Like White Elephants...of all the years I've studied that work, I've never been able to find a real image of what they must have looked like ot the young pregnant girl, or were imagined to have looked like to Hemingway....you've given us , probably, the closest...thank you! beautiful work
ReplyDeleteRemarkable cross-hatching on the snow-covered hill.
