CLOUDS OF THE DAY ...

I'm not sure you could find any harmony here.  The clouds seem to be fighting themselves ... blue skies, gray clouds, sunshine, storm clouds.  

I'm a believer in 'what you think and seek, you attract'.  I'm going for the blue skies and sunshine above.  

Have a great day!

 CLOUDS OF THE DAY . . .

I took this over by Sprague Lake, WA.  Fortunately this was to the east of us and we didn't have to drive through it.  Oh, yes, and there's a nice big fish quietly swimming out of the storm on the right.  (I understand this is a good fishing lake:)

Have a great day!

CLOUDS OF THE DAY . . .

Evening sky over western Montana

A school of fish with the sun bouncing off the water?

We took a ride over to Montana (which sounds cool but it is actually only 6 miles from us :) this past Saturday.  We went a little more than the 6 miles ... we actually were headed to St. Ignatius, MT to visit the old Native American Mission there.  It was built in the 1800's and has since been beautifully restored.  Those photos are on my 'real' camera which I haven't downloaded yet, so I will share them on another day.  BUT ... while over in that area, we also visited the 'Garden of 1000 Buddhas' out in the middle of Nowhere, MT (really, it's Arlee, MT., but it feels like the middle of nowhere.  There are no signs to direct you there.  I found this online and we used our GPS to actually locate it.  Don't know if that is a 'neighbors don't want the traffic so you can't have signs' kinda thing, or, because it's all about Peace and Serenity, and the owners don't want signs. Whichever it is, it is not exactly the easiest place to find.  It is an extremely peaceful place to take a walk, and read the many writings of Buddha, and others who promote Peace, Tranquility, and Wisdom. Below are some photos I took that I thought you might enjoy ...

  

 

See.  I told you it was in the middle of Nowhere ...

 

Have a great Day ...

STORMY SKIES AHEAD ...

CLOUDS OF THE DAY . . .

There is a storm a comin'

The adjective I think of when looking at this is Power.  There's such strength in those clouds.

If you want to see the sunshine, 
you have to weather the storm.

LET'S FISH!

If people concentrated on the really important

things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

CLOUDS OF THE DAY ...

I love how the light is reflecting off the Church steeple in this photo, and the wisp of the white cloud peeking out above.  I took this photo when we were down in Arizona. :)
