Summer is Pouring on the Heat


amongst the hot days
there is water


cooling
cleansing
refreshing 
waters


large vistas 
to dream into


alpine waters dancing down the mountains


rivers singing 
with all their might


lovely forget me nots
reminding us of grace and beauty
 

new life entering our world
prancing about our meadows
napping in the shade
~
wishing you sweet summer (some of you; winter) days
and 
nights

Summer Solstice ~


beautiful Summer is upon us

time to hike into the mountains
to drink aqua waters with our eyes
and spirits


in the high mountains
glacier lilies still bloom
(this one unique with a short stem, rests gently on it's leaves)


along the trails
waterfalls to cool and refresh by


a time of color
vibrant under creek waters


Montana stones, eye candy
that feeds our hearts


 winged ones are busy as can be


summer is a busy time
of growth
eating
mating
fruiting
it must all happen before the season once again changes

 

sitting at the feet of mountains
like sitting with a holy being

summer is a grand time of celebrating life
~

lovely Solstice to you and yours
whether it be summer or winter in your neck of the woods

Many Glacier, Montana


on a breeze
the high mountains
called to me


i felt it in my heart
and in my blood


after a long winter 
wandering dirt roads, hiking trails and camping
is essential



the Eastern Rockies are wild and gorgeous
yet tenderness can be found:


photos are the trail to Iceberg Lake



are the Rockies now calling your name?

Montana Spring


Color
the world is dressed in color


and light


color and magical light

I wish I could photograph the scents of the forest for you:
thick, sweet, spirit altering 
mix of 
trees flowers earth


some plants are fruiting
some are just beginning to rise through the earth


I sat close to this owl at sunset the other night
until it spotted it's meal and dove into the grassy meadow


this scene is So Montana!
