early in the season
east of the Rockies
horses lounged amongst flowers
summer has shared a multitude of flowers
most of which have turned to fruit or seeds
summer has been filled with hot blue skied days

Looks like you live in paradise, everything around you is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
I connect your photos with water and pebbles, snow and ice structures, mountain peaks... That's why it's new to me to see wild flowers everywhere in the green. I would love to see more...:) And that brown horse is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteCongratuations to the winner!
I just found wild ponies here in the mountains of the east side of US!! Smaller than your horses, but everything is bigger out west!
ReplyDeletehello Tomas,
ReplyDeleteyes it is wonderful around here, lots of bugs though ;-(, actually not too bad.
Rossichka,
Montana is a HUGE state, we have the Rocky mountains which are large as well as other mountain ranges. The east side of the Rocky mountains flattens out into a flatter landscape with rolling hills, smaller mountains and vast flat lands. Very diverse! The east side can have the most amazing flower shows!
Karen, hello,
so wonderful that you have found wild ponies, that must have been such a joy to see!
thank you all for your visits ~
Oh yay.. I love Sandy.. she's a most deserving winner.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics, TL. How beautiful to see the horses among the blooms.
Such lovely horses and one sweet foal with a white splash on his forelock and muzzle!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful water and mountain shot too. So refreshing in this hot weather we are having over here!
Such majestic creatures horses are...and the gorgeous wildflowers they are grazing in. Great photos Tammie!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner...I loved perusing the Novica site...saw a few things that drew my eye in for sure...
Many Blessings on this Sacred Sunday Tammie,
Akasa
So much beauty around you. It must be hard sometimes to put your camera down and just take in the moment. I'd want to capture everything and I'm not even a photographer. I absolutely love your work.
ReplyDeleteLush meadows and well filled out horses, not just horse heaven but heaven for everyone. I can only whish I could quietly sit there with them.
ReplyDeleteOK, these are SPECTACULAR! It just always looks like heaven there and you are a wonderful ambassador to heaven! Wow, woman, great photos.

Hi Tammie, beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI think I once mentioned that Scotland and America were joined together a few years ago (well ok, a few million years).
Our meadows are similar to some of yours however our mountains aren't quite as majestic as yours.
Love the horses.
The pictures of the horses are wonderful. I love the serenity they convey!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, beautiful wild horses, that beautiful view! Greetings.
ReplyDeleteWow, these scenes are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blog with beautiful images Tammie! We share a similar passion but I am envious of your 'Rocky' views! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonder!
ReplyDeleteI love this place and the horses are beautiful, in their natural habitat.
Wonderful!
What lucky horses!
ReplyDeleteAnd Sandy is lucky too! Novica is wonderful.
your mountains look beautiful Tammie. I can only imagine how beautiful it is there in summer....and then I love the idea of winter there too....

These are delightful photos. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! And congrats to the lucky winner!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I come here, you have some wonderful little treasure to share.
ReplyDeleteOoooo, once again stunning pictures! I was just in Great Falls, Montana, and it is obvious you live a much more beautiful part of Montana! I really love the one with the horse lounging, but of course, they are all beautiful in colour, texture and mood!
ReplyDeleteWow, these photos are superb. No wonder so many people talk about the beauty in Montana.
ReplyDeleteLovely captures of scenery and horses, well done!!
