Beauty of a Sunny Winter's Day

 morning sun

painted the day

donning xc skis 

went out to play

clouds and blue skies

felt like medicine to eyes

spirit and soul

mounds of snowfall

whispers of hibernating life

 

 billows of snow everywhere we go

adore to see tracks

of who passed before

a perfect winter's day

Autumn Snow

this is our third snowfall

each time 1/2 inch plus

autumn colors dressed in snow

with a dash of sunlight

so lovely

the golden forest trees are tamaracks (Western Larch)

they still have some of their needles on

stunning mixed with snow

light snow like this

reminds me of cotton fields

and so our autumn goes

sun and snow mingle 

sometimes rain graces our days

the wood stove is going

The Jouney Continued

continuing on from the previous post

traveling up the North Fork towards Polebridge Montana

a place to cook on this hot summer day

flowers lined the high mountain road

what is this chipmunk digging for?

next it scurried into the wild current bush

had a feast while i looked on

 summer leaves still brilliant green

lake water divine

nature beauty sublime

Summer Horses & a Lucky Winner

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

Summer's Embrace

water falls

from the top

plus from an inner cave half way down:

dancing waters

mingle with shadow and light

 

along the shore, wild columbines:

Summer fills our days and nights

Summer Solstice 2013

Summer Solstice beauty thrills

walking forest paths so lush

never knowing who is far or near

tiny glimpses 

charm my eyes

flowers one with butterflies

flowers and green cloak the earth

mother's hide their tiny fawns

blooms celebrate the sun's rays

a new season dawns

Many Glacier, Montana

last days of Spring

found me wandering 

the Eastern side of Montana's Rocky Mountains

days a mix of sun and clouds

rain and wind

cold shadows

hot sun

light dancing amongst rolling waters

waterfalls of snow melt

Rocky mountains dress in spring green

lakes beckon us to wander

Like a Siren

winter days

they switch and sway

luring 

like a siren

speaking to our quiet parts

while enlivening our breath and hearts

reflecting depth and light

at once

winter

like a siren

Snow

lines they wrinkle crinkle and furrow

blown by the wind and waves

snow that melts
shadows that preserve

snowflakes piled this way and that

textures
layers

light and shadow

designs that pull ones eyes along the lines
a sensuous caress
