Softly deeply slowly
inhaling air
and presence
relaxing opening beckoning
loves spirit
to awaken and permeate
all eternity
This past week I took a journey. Drove to the National Folk Festival in Butte Montana, absolutely wonderful music! Then wandered up the Eastern side of the Rocky mountains. Weather varied from hot to warm as well as stormy with great drama in the form of clouds, rain and wind. The earth is vibrant green, flowers are bountiful and seemingly unending waterfalls abound. Summer at her best.
To see skies from folks around the world: Sky Watch Friday

Beautiful big patches of sky on view from there, really lovely to sit and take it all in. Thanks for sharing with us all in Sky Watch Friday.
ReplyDeleteJust sublime! Mother nature is so beautiful. Thank you for capturing her beauty!
ReplyDeleteSuch a very beautiful wandering. These are wonderful photos. I am glad you made the trip.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly got some great pictures of the clouds. The second is dramatic, but I absolutely love the first photo. Thanks for sharing these with us.
ReplyDeleteHolistic viewpoints of life are based on truth. Every person can find peace, love and harmony within. Each image or experience you take in from outside is awakening untapped energy inside. Thanks for elevating soul.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great wandering indeed and your shots are terrific! And as I've said before, brings back lovely memories of Montana! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteTammie,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the open field with the gray skies. Montana is a beautiful scenic state.
Happy Skywatch Friday.

Beautiful pics - makes me feel warmer just looking at them. We're in winter here in Oz but looking forward to the coming changes so we, too, can have skies like you have captured here again soon.
ReplyDeleteThe kind of view outdoors that makes one feel just at the right place at the right timing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this! Thanks also for your visit!
ReplyDeleteI'm breathing in that clean fresh air! That is such beautiful scenery. I love the composition of the first shot, with the water off into the distance round to the left. And as for the second shot, before taking part in SWF I would have hated dark skies like that, knowing the torrential rain that was about to follow. Now I appreciate the beauty in them! lovely, Tammie!
ReplyDeleteJanice.
