A Walk Up In The Mountains... (SWF)

Remember... you can click the pictures for a bigger view!!

Early in the morning the sky brings a bit of an orange complexion to the skies.



Dawn unfolds and blues appear and it promises to be a pleasing day.



The majestic mountains still hold remnants of winter around us even though it is July.



Forests line the alps thick and green and the harmony of birds is amazing as you stand there and inhale the fresh, cool air.




I hope you enjoyed the walk through the mountains today...

Fantastic scenic photos, Michele.

I wish you the best and hope your health improves.

Dina said...

I certainly did enjoy the walk with you, especially since our Hills of Jerusalem are sizzling with temps in low 30s C. Thanks for the beauty and the cool air.

Peggy said...

Michele;

Your walk through the mountains was beautiful, Thank you! Since I live on mostly flat land, the mountains are a welcome retreat for me!
I know what it's like to have a disease that people don't understand and treat you different because of it!
They're the ignorant ones !

Arija said...

Mmmmm, breathing in that cool fresh mountain air and looking at the view was just lovely, especially with you standing there beside me.
Hugs and blessings, Arija

Beautiful Sky Watch Friday photos, Michele... Does the snow ever go completely away before it comes back again?????

Hugs,
Betsy

I very much enjoyed this early morning walk in the mountains. It was wonderful to see the sky change to that gorgeous blue and the snow looked very refreshing on a hot day in Tennessee.

Carver said...

Glorious skies, Michele.

Funnel clouds?! I am jealous! Any pics?

RuneE said...

I would have liked to join you on that trip - only I fear you would outrun me pretty fast. But then I could stay behind and try to get some pictures like these.

GreensboroDailyPhoto said...

If I lived where you did, I don't think I'd get anything done but taking pictures. Fabulous. I tried to go to your other blog since I went to a lavender festival recently-- but it is by invitation only :( Maybe it has nothing to do with lavender and the joke would be on me! Happy Sky Watch Friday.

Rambling Woods said...
