While the weather posed no threat the clouds just seemed to grow and grow as the day went on.
And although the landscape was brilliant the combination of earth and sky called out to be seen as one. The ridge-line and sky combined to become the one that they already are.
Above the ridge,
the ridge the clouds call home.
The clouds weighed on the earth like a weight on this October day yet colors sprang forth to brighten the landscape.
Just a bit of snow lingers around the thermal features on Firehole drive although the next round is on its way.
Finding color on a cloudy day where color abounds.
A ponderosa pine strong and silent sits high upon the Blacktail Plateau.
Welcome to October.
A quiet walk in a quiet forest where old trees have been kissed by fire and young trees grow. Sun behind the clouds yet peeking between the trees.
In a quiet forest life goes on.
When you find yourself taking a walk through the park and hear the orchestra playing you just have to sit down and enjoy the show.
A day spent winding your way through open spaces is indeed a day well spent. From morning encounters with resting Elk to views of the mountains beyond.
The mid-day sun shines bright but a gentle breeze blows to cool things down.
As mid-day passes to afternoon the clouds begin to build and signal it’s time to go down.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend and perhaps some time in your favorite space.
