Mountains

May 9

I am thankful for mountains. Although there are no mountains nearby, I love to visit them. The term "lofty mountain grandeur" is appropriate (from the song How Great Thou Art by Carl G. Boberg/Stuart K. Hine). The beauty and views obtained from mountains are spectacular. And when you have mountains you have rocky streams, waterfalls, vistas, scenic overlooks, trees, flowers, and hiking. What more could anyone want? 

This is a photo of the Appalachian Mountains, in the Shenandoah National Park, at sunset with a little storm brewing in the distance. This is a photo I took with film some time ago but just scanned my enlarged print into digital format in the computer. I liked it so much I had to make it a photo of the day.

mountains high

storm brewing in the distance

over mountains high

accentuating shades of pastel

as the last rays die

tranquility over

this tree studded girth

catching rain trails

to soften this earth.
