Beautiful Autumn

It has been a beautiful Autumn.

The colorful part lasted weeks, yay!

We had lots of sunshine to inspire adventures in the mountains and forests.

Snow has come and gone many times.

Though the snow is magical and beautiful,

it is nice when autumn returns, as winter is a long season here in NW Montana.

The other day I drove out of the aged golden grasses of autumn

into the snow clad forest of the mountains.

Autumn's wanders revealed one of last summers

hummingbird nest.

Seems one of my little birds friends

was as curious about it as I was.

Wishing you a lovely autumn

as we lean towards winter.

Spots and Dots

a week ago

I found this mushroom rising through the earth

a splash of dirty color:

I visited it and photographed it every day

It took 7 days from beginning to end

it was the only mushroom around

it was a fun and interesting thing to do

out in the back meadow

the grasses are now taller than I

and

they are speckled with ladybugs

this is the first summer that I have seen so many of these

little gem-like bugs

this seasons fawns are quite dapper in their spots

sharing a scattering of spots and dots

from my forest

Winter in NW Montana

(large tracks in snow made by elk)

yesterday

I found myself thinking:

I live in the land of Christmas trees

our road lined with giant snow cloaked trees

felt entirely enchanting

sunshine presented the world with light and shadows

ice on my steps

formed into filigree flowers

before the sun arrived another kind of beauty:

from my home to yours

I wish you holidays that feel good to you

Montana Glimpses

some folks put stars on the tops of their Christmas tree

do you think it is inspired by the natural star on top of a fir?

details

awe inspiring

when the air is warmer than the earth

the mist does rise and wander through the land

a mystical morning

mornings

when the air is super cold

lovely crystals greet us

yesterday

new snow graced the world

lovely days

and

nights to you

Ice Crystals

this tiny frosty leaf caught my eye

it wasn't until I got it on the computer that I saw the frost in shapes like flowers!

I had never seen this before

I love the endless wonders of our world!

when the sun appears

tiny spheres of snow melt become gems

adorning the golden Western larch needles

it's been

a lot

like this lately

wishing you a lovely week

Snow snow snow

snow falling

little chickadee

all fluffed up

snow falling

forest cloaked in white

in the tip top of a tree a hawk sits

viewing the world from high

(a Rough legged hawk)

(chickadee was at home, hawk down the road, so little bird is safe)

it has been a snowy week

which often happens this time of year

but more snow than usual

I plowed for the first time this season

that seems early

it is so pretty

Any thoughts on how this circle

on my frozen pond came to be?

I have never seen that happen before.

Maybe wind swirling around the tiny island?

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

Late Summer Day

I wandered into the mountains the other day

found a rainbow in a waterfall

creek water aqua turquoise

made my heart sing

watched the sunlight mingling with trees

does this green thrill you?

it does me

i listened to the water sing

and dance

visited this lake that sunny day

dinned on late summer huckleberries

watched the sun paint shadows on the enormous mountains

as it began to set

~

it was a good day

may you walk in beauty
