Peeking through the blinds

Huge Hand

I thought the clouds looked like a huge hand - the hand of God maybe, ready to pluck us up.

PS- Yes, we really still look this dead, no green grass, no leaves on trees. . .someday maybe spring will come.

Sunset from the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway

After our time in the boat, in the swamps in Slidell, we decided to take the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway back to the French Quarter and enjoy the sunset from the bridge. We couldn't have timed it better!



No matter which way I looked the view was phenomenal!







The Causeway, consists of two parallel bridges crossing Lake Pontchartrain, the longer of the two bridges is the seventh-longest in the world and the second-longest over water, measuring 23.87 miles (38.42 km) long.

poofy clouds

When you made the commitment to do everything in your power to fight it, you promised yourself moments like these.  Time to regroup and get ready for the next round of battle.

Make up your mind that when your cancer is gone you're through with it.

The many South Dakota skies

Standing on a precipice in Custer State Park (South Dakota) watching a storm rage in the distance.

A different direction from another area of the park.

Watching the storm as we're coming into town - I don't remember which town but I think it was in South Dakota, lol.

See the rainbow?

Wyoming? South Dakota? Your guess is as good as mine.

Saint Mary Lake, the next morning. . .

Loved the low clouds just sitting there - this was shot through the side window of the van.

There was a path that lead to this bluff jutting out into the lake and I stood in the wild wind and looked this way. . .

. . . and that. . .

. . . and over there.

Just a drive by shooting, lol.

This is Lake Sherburne, a little further north.

Falling water everywhere, I loved the balanced rock and the turquoise water.

Montana Skies

Who says there's nothing to see in the middle of nowhere Montana? I found plenty, looking to the right. . .

. . .looking to the left. . .

. . .going 'round the corner (almost to Glacier). . .

. . .stopping at a rest stop. . .

. . .straight ahead, I see Glacier National Park! Yippee!

Sunrise in Montana

So, back to the trip, we woke up very early in Jordan and hit the road, an empty road I might add. As I saw the world around me getting lighter I decided to take a peek over my shoulder - well that view was enough to get us to pull the car over.

The view to my right.

The view behind.

Here comes the sun! Anyone who has watched the sunrise, or set for that matter, knows how fast it happens. You must be fast to shoot the occurrence - all the photos above were taken with the point and shoot because I wanted wide shots and I didn't want to take the time to change the lens on the big camera for fear of missing it.

The moon was still awake as the sun came up. And the world was quiet, no cars, no city noises, everywhere I turned it was open road, open land and Big Sky!

Cell phone picture so I could facebook it right away, lol.

The big camera pointed at the moon. :0)

Yeah, the colors in the big camera are very nice.
