Wishing you a bit of quiet and solitude this weekend.

Silence is golden or in this case black and white as afternoon became early evening in the Pelican Valley of Yellowstone National park.

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.

With the silence only punctuated by a infrequent call of a pair of Grey Jays we walked through the grasses and lodgepole pines on a fall day with the sun veiled by cloud yet still somewhat present.

Listening for a deer or perhaps a bear the forest remained silent. Even the tall dry grasses stood still as statues.

Just when you thought it could not get any quieter a Grey Jay would call one of their various calls but were never seen, only heard. as we walk through the forest and meadows that day.

Footnote: The Grey Jays is now Officially called the Canada Jay but Grey Jay just felt appropriate on this slightly grey and very quiet fall afternoon.
