Autumn Reflections

along the lake

picture perfect day

golden trees

shimmering

Do you see that line across the mountains?

It is: Going to the Sun Road

Incredible views from that road! 

Being on the edge of a mountain, nature takes back parts or the road each year, so it is usually being worked on. 

clouds mingling with peaks 

sunlight showing off the colors

the warmth of the shoreline

morning light on a forest mushroom

sunset at the river

Autumn is a beautiful time

Last Week, Autumn

shades of blue

under the gaze of sunlight

golds

under a soft sky of blues and clouds

 

Turn to look another direction

water wandering through Autumn

teepees

a place one could stay

land

and more

that touches ones heart

inspiring true breathing

~

autumn camping

invigorating

Gorgeous Autumn

gorgeous autumn weather beckoned

come camp in me

trails enticed to be walked on

the colors were thrilling

literally

leaves illumined

offered sunlight

with gentle brilliance

paths as sacred trails

to take one deeply into the land

sweet clouds appeared around mountain tops

like breath

the sort of 
weather
color
and 
walk
one dreams of in autumn

~
I feel so thankful to have been there

Lovely Equinox to you, Autumnal or Vernal

: yesterday

: in town, trees at all stages are donning new colors

 

: Kokanee Salmon are spawning

: sunsets hold sacred light

: the river is lined with gold and green

: high mountain roads free of snow, still beckon 

: forest plants share their autumn colors

~

wishing you all 

a rich Equinox!

Two Medicine

I went to Two Medicine this weekend

sunshine called for another camping trip

the wind never paused

not once!

clouds rose from the tops of mountains

as though they were the mountain's breath

a wonderful show as

they moved and changed shape swiftly

Running Eagle Falls is a well loved waterfall

earlier in the year, Spring and Early summer

 water also flows from the top of the falls:

Autumn is Dancing with Summer

watery eye candy

the spirit of autumn breathed on a summer leaf and look what happened

music to my ears and eyes

a couple weeks ago.... just a tinge of gold in the woodland

another glimpse of Many Glacier

a visitor at my pond

along a tiny brook

high mountain flowers

traveled over the mountains

a long dirt road

and 

came upon a black bear

~

a bit of this

a bit of that

summer leans into autumn

Sunrise and Beyond

the sun began to light up the world

as the clouds shifted and danced in the sky

we walked a forested path

that brought us to this pristine vista

our day overflowed with immense beauty

with theater in the sky

Skywatch Friday

Moose

there they were

dining in the lake

heads bowed

below the surface of the water

eating lake bottom plants

in the evening light

a dear 

and 

touching sight

the calf stayed near

its mom

as she ate

for hours

alert to every sound

~

such an honor to sit at the forests edge

to be near them
