Sunset with Geese

The other week, after getting back home after the Middle Child's photo shoot, I heard geese honking. I could tell they they were in the sky behind some tall trees in our yard. Even though I couldn't see them, I could tell which direction they were heading, so I aimed at the sky, pointing my camera at a gap between the trees. As the geese flew by, I snapped a couple of pics.




The setting sun was turning the sky a gorgeous color and provided a beautiful backdrop for the silhouette of the geese.

I'm submitting this photo for the "Looking Up" photo challenge over at Shoot-N-Tell. Be sure to head over there and "look up" the other entries to see more interpretations of the theme.

***UPDATE***
My photo won an honorable mention in this photo challenge!

The Mountains at St. Mary

This week's Thursday Challenge theme is "Outdoors."

I took this "Outdoorsy" pic when we were at the St. Mary Visitor's Center in Glacier at the beginning of July. Such beautiful mountains!

Big Sky Country

This week's Thursday Challenge theme is "WEATHER" (Sunny, Calm, Rainy, Snowy, Icy, Fog, Clouds, Thunderstorm, Lightning, Hail, Windy,...).

Montana comes by it's "Big Sky Country" nickname honestly.
(I took this one while on the train going out to Glacier.)


Head on over to the Thursday Challenge to see more weather-related pictures.

Majestic Mt. Rainier

I fell in love twice while in college. I met Hubby in 1993, and by early 1994 I'd already fallen in love with him. But in Summer 1994 I fell in love again, this time with a mountain.

The first time I saw Mt. Rainier, there were no words for the stunned awe I felt. The blatant, majestic evidence of God's power in creation was right there in front of me, and I just basked in its glory. And Hubby was right there with me (although he was only my boyfriend at the time). As a native Washingtonian, he was eager to show me "the Mountain", and I'm so glad he did!

I took this picture of Mt. Rainier the last time we visited Washington back in 2005. This is a scanned image since I took the original with my 35mm SLR. An enlarged 16x20" hangs on our living room wall. Sadly, the picture doesn't really do it justice, but I'll take it in lieu of seeing the real thing in person.



Mt. Rainier epitomizes "majesty" in my mind, and that is why it is my entry for this week's "Majestic" photo challenge at Photo Sunday.
