These photos are of one evening:
inhale
the sky fills you
exhale
you fill the sky
walk
the earth supports you
eat
your body is made of earth
see
your world alight
nourishment
via eyes
speak
you are the music life hears
listen
hear the song of birds
laughter
your heart beat
we are the world
the world is us

ReplyDeleteOh my...such beauty! I can't believe that you knew our group photo was taken at the Nepenthe Restaurant! I guess you have been there a few times.

ReplyDeleteSamuel Taylor Coleridge has this to say:
O, it is pleasant, with a heart at ease,
Just after sunset, or by moonlight skies,
To make the shifting clouds
be what you please,
Or let the easily persuaded eyes
Own each quaint likeness
issuing from the mould
Of a friend's fancy.
Wow Tammie. This post is stunning in every way... Lovely images and words. I found it very uplifting. The sky in Montana is incredible. Great sunsets too. Very calming!:)

ReplyDeleteGood morning, it was a busy day yesterday!
Very beautiful shots. Amazing views.
ReplyDeleteFascinating shots.
ReplyDeleteThese are all so beautiful! I love the last one.
ReplyDeleteTammie, I shot that image at my home town Ganjam, far from New Delhi. It was noon and I looked the sky and captured the image immediately. No rising sun, no smoke, no storm. A simply sky. Believe me, I did not manipulate the image.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem especially the fist verse.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very beautiful part of the world you live in.
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch stunning skies!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies! Really amazingly nostalgic with it's rustic charm.

ReplyDeleteOh, Tammie, your photographs! These cumulus clouds are majestic. It took my breath away when I scrolled down over them.
