A quinceañera photo shoot on a beautiful rose garden day children gather to watch. Overheard, “Do you see the princess?” “May we say hello to the princess?” Children kept at bay, eyes fixed on the beauty, until …. “Aren’t we lucky we saw a princess today?”

Beauty in Nature
August in the Rocky Mountains is a wonderful time to explore. Many flowers are in full bloom, their vibrant colors putting on a show. Even the deer are impressed.
Morning
Outside my window morning glories climb and bloom faces to the sun.
Fog on a Sunny Day
Weather in the mountains is ever changing. In the midst of a sunny day the fog rolled in, hiding the nearby peaks. One of my favorite poems by Carl Sandburg: Fog The fog comes in on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.
Magical skies
Eyes flicker open Will the morning colors be putting on a show? All day I glance skyward at the wisps at the billowing puffs at the myriad of shapes always putting on a show. Setting my imagination free. And then, evening colors. Will they bring another dazzling display?
