but somehow they do

Thought for Today

Looks as though your Sis is in an incredibly beautiful spot - secluded and quiet.

HRG: I like the rock formation reaching into the sky on that last shot.

Inday said...

I agree with Adam Ansel's words in regards to turning to photography when words are insufficient to say. Pictures can say the words better.

Even in those snow gathering clouds, their beauty is hidden in silver linings unraveled.

Glad to be back after being so slacked.

Carver said...

Wonderful sequence of shots. I love the cotton ball clouds in the first shot and the rocks are such a great contrast to the sky in the later ones.

XoXo said...

What a beautiful series of shots, and a real refresher for my afternoon! Love those travel vans, too - makes me want to hit the road again! Great SWF post!

All that land looks empty but from what I have read it isn't. Lot of wildlife

Great photos, scenery and quotes. I love Ansel Adams, but this is the first time I read the Eudora Weltys quote. I love it and how true. Happy skywatching.

These are utterly gorgeous.

Love the last shot, with the rocks against the backdrop of the skies!

I love seeing your sister's photos - someday I REALLY want to make it out to Alaska.

I know these are Skywatch photos, but the landscape is beautiful as well. I sure would like to see this in person!
