Autumn Glory

Glacier National Park is an hour drive for me.

Enter the park and it's spirit is tangibly. 

Certainly crossing a threshold into the sublime and earthy. 

'Going to the Sun'

is the name of the road that travels through the park, 

west to east. 

It travels high into the Rocky mountains to Logan Pass and back down the east side. 

do you see the road over on the right side of the mountains? (above)

They closed the road in the summer due to wildfires. 

Thankfully they opened it up a bit ago. 

Soon the road will close due to snow until next summer. 

There is a small bit of days that one can journey the road to see these views and colors.

it was a gorgeous blue skied day

but the clouds were there too 
adding to the drama, light and shadows

water is still flowing

even after a long hot summer

the high peaks are kissed with light snow

even though the grand views got our attention

the little ones captured my heart as well

raindrops

 I nearly covered the tiny island 

by the branch of the tree

but there it is

a glimpse of treasure.

Lovely days and nights to you!

Season of Flowers

some views

change one's breathing

meadows of flowers

can right one's spirit

 at my elevation 

most flowers have gone to seed

but the mountains

still offer flowers galore

colors divine

mixed with mountains and sky

and 

one's heartbeat comes true

Wandering paths and mountain roads are such a nice way to enjoy summer wildflowers!

I am sharing this with Whims & Fancies
last Thursday of each months:

Season of Flowers!

Montana Winter in the Sunshine

the sun beckoned:

come outside 

wander and explore

see the lake 

in silky smooth waters

find icicles dripping

at the shore

if you look closely

snow grew frosty crystals over night

and

mountains dressed in their winter coats

treasures under the sun's light

Glimpses of Summer

drove to the top of Logan Pass

looked east to the majestic mountains

 

waters are dancing down the mountains

huckleberries have begun to ripen

creek water is mesmerizing

seems like billions of flowers

on one stalk of beargrass

tiny flowers are enchanting

walking deep in the forest

where no trail exisits

i found to Orange-capped boletes bathing in the sun

~

Summer is certainly here!
