Happy Saturday Morning ⭐️✨

#Sunrise and #Scape.
One of my favorite ❤️ Pre-dawn from Glacier National Park Sept ‘25

A horizon glows with fire.🔥

#Artyear #NationalParks #Parkchat #scape #landscape #eastcoastkin
Dawn breaks behind the mountains, sending broad rays of gold through a band of soft gray cloud. The peaks rise in layered silhouettes—sharp and dark against the deepening light—while the forested slopes below remain cool and shadowed. The lake mirrors the sky’s transformation: molten amber and muted violet ripple gently across its surface, where the first warmth of day meets the still chill of morning. A faint mist drifts above the waterline, caught between night’s retreat and the sun’s advance, as the horizon glows with fire.

#birds #osprey

Watched this beautiful bird pluck this rainbow trout from a lake 15 feet from me.. this was the best picture I could get.. was busy watching flowers…

Fun fact Osprey turn fish forward to aid in aerodynamic flight

#artyear
High above a cloudless blue sky, an osprey soars with wide, commanding wings stretched in effortless balance. Its sharp eyes fix ahead as powerful talons clutch a silvery fish—freshly caught and dangling in midair like a gleaming prize. The bird’s body is sleek, its flight purposeful and steady, cutting across the sky with the precision of a hunter perfectly at home between water and wind. The image captures that wild, elemental moment where strength meets grace—the silent triumph of a predator returning to its aerial kingdom, lunch securely in tow.

Happy #PinkMonday

From Rose 🌹 who wore a pink collar before she came from my buddy in Georgia who brought her and her sister to Montana.. I took him and his family Fishing here..

“Paw-sitivity & Petals — Spreading Joy, One Tail Wag at a Time.”

Had some fun with Alt text

#acoloraday #artyear
Meet Montana’s newest little flower child — a golden retriever pup who’s clearly been promoted to “cutest thing west of the Rockies.” Draped in a soft peach blanket and crowned with a pink floral headband, she’s striking her best “born to be adored” pose. That tiny tongue peek says she knows exactly how adorable she is — and she’s not afraid to use it. With those big, soulful eyes and that fluffy paw perched just so, this pup looks like she’s about to start her own lifestyle brand: “Paw-sitivity & Petals — Spreading Joy, One Tail Wag at a Time.”

Happy #BlueSkyMonday & #MountainMonday From the Dearborn National Forest Montana

Spring Green..

#artyear #eastcoastkin #scape #landscape
A vast mountain landscape stretches beneath a cloudless blue sky, where layers of pine and fir forests roll toward distant peaks capped with traces of lingering snow. The foreground glows in vibrant shades of spring green—willows and young conifers crowding the valley floor like a living carpet, each leaf catching the bright morning sun. The middle distance deepens into darker, cooler hues as the forest thickens, climbing toward the ridgelines that fade into a misty blue horizon.

Ruby says Goodnight friends
A young golden retriever puppy lies in the grass, sunlight warming its soft caramel coat. Its fur glows like honey in the summer light, with fine, feathery tufts along the ears and paws. The puppy’s dark eyes hold a calm, curious focus—part wonder, part quiet mischief—as it gazes ahead. Its small black nose gleams slightly, damp from exploring the world through scent, while its front paws rest in a patch of mixed green and brown blades. The overall mood is gentle and intimate, capturing that tender, thoughtful stillness unique to a moment of puppyhood in the sun.

Happy #Stunday all a panoramic view of Bowman lake at sunrise in September

#nationalparks #parkchat #artyear #eastcoastkin #scape #landscape #orangesun #acoloraday
A vast mountain lake lies perfectly still beneath a shifting canopy of morning clouds, the water so calm it mirrors the world above with startling precision. The forested slopes rise steeply from the shore—dense ranks of evergreens standing shoulder to shoulder, their deep greens darkened by the cool air that lingers after dawn. Across the lake, the mountains ascend in layered silhouettes, each ridge fading slightly into the next until they dissolve into mist and sky. The tallest peaks, draped in soft indigo shadow, hold the first gold of sunrise along their upper ridges, as if the light itself were testing the day’s strength. The surface of the water reflects every detail: the pale blush of early sunlight, the blue-gray folds of distant rock, the intricate play of clouds and open sky. Near the shallows, where the lakebed is visible, the reflection gives way to clarity—a window into clear, cold depths that seem untouched by motion or sound. The horizon, where lake and land and air converge, feels less like a boundary than a quiet truce between elements.

Two years ago today I got this picture of Bleu.. a week later he came home with me..

His personality shines through this picture.. while his litter mates ham it up he wants his chin scratched..,
#goldenretriever

Had a little fun with the alt text again
Bleu has decided that climbing Mount Denim (otherwise known as your leg) is today’s great adventure “Save me from these hooligans!” Behind him, two of his littermates are fully engaged in a backyard WWE showdown—complete with rolling takedowns and dramatic growls that sound fiercer than they are. The German Shepherd, clearly the referee (or possibly the security guard), is pretending to be too busy with a blue ball to get involved. It’s a scene of pure puppy pandemonium—equal parts adorable and absurd, with you caught in the middle as both audience and jungle gym.

Rose Ruby and Bleu wishing everyone a Goodnight!!

I rarely get all 3 in one picture let alone facing the same direction!!

#goldenretrievers
Three golden retrievers move together through a snowy clearing, their coats a warm contrast against the winter white. The two on the left, nearly identical in rich auburn hues, stride shoulder to shoulder with easy companionship, their expressions alert and content. The lighter one to the right—more cream in color—lowers its head to sniff the snow, curious and methodical. Around them, dried stems poke through the snow, and a tangle of bare branches fills the background, hinting at a thicket or fallen tree. The scene captures the quiet harmony of pack and place—warm life moving gently through a cold and silent world.

Ruby chasing after Bleu
#goldenretriever #montana #mountains
Two dogs dash through a snowy woodland, their fur glinting in the sunlight. The nearer one—a golden retriever with rich, coppery coat—bounds forward with playful intent, muscles taut and ears flung back in motion. Snow sprays into the air around them, frozen mid-flight like scattered stars. The second dog, lighter in color and partially blurred by motion, leaps ahead near a snow-capped stump, disappearing into the shimmer of the forest beyond. Pine shadows streak the slope, and the whole scene feels alive with winter joy—pure, unrestrained, and fleeting as the fall of snowflakes.

Kintla Lake #evening picture Glacier National Park September’23

#blueskyartshow #artyear #scape #nationalparks
Night settles over the mountains, their jagged silhouettes cut sharply against a deep indigo sky. The last trace of twilight lingers low on the horizon—a thin band of silver-blue fading into darkness. Stars emerge in quiet constellations above and echo faintly below, reflected in the glassy surface of the lake. The water is still, shadowed except for the glint of starlight and the faint outline of stones near shore.

#blueskyartshow #artyear #scape #nationalparks
The mountain burns with the last light, its ridges edged in copper and fading rose. Forest shadows rise, folding the slopes into deep blue. The sky cools toward indigo as a single pale cloud drifts west. On the lake’s surface, every line and color repeats in calm precision, a mirror holding the day’s final flame.

Happy #ForestFriday all let’s have a pink #sunrise over the Yaak River Kootenai National Forest Montana

In a shadowy hush the valley awaits the rose and amber glow

These waters bind light and land.

#imageandverse #artyear #eastcoastkin #nationalforest #scape
A soft, radiant dawn settles over a quiet mountain valley, filling the sky with a sweeping gradient of warm pastel color. High above the horizon, clusters of small, rounded clouds glow in vivid shades of peach, rose, and coral, their undersides lit by the first strong touch of sunlight. The sky transitions smoothly into gentle lavender tones near the upper edge of the frame, giving the entire scene a calm, luminous atmosphere. Beneath the bright sky, a low, rounded ridgeline rises in silhouette—its slopes muted in cool purples and deep blues that contrast with the warm glow above. A dense line of coniferous trees stands at the base of the ridge, their dark forms sharply vertical, creating a natural boundary between mountain and meadow. In front of them, thick brush and late-season foliage form a textured tapestry of greens, rusts, and soft golds. At the bottom of the image, a shallow, slow-moving river reflects the dawn colors with subdued clarity. The water’s surface carries hints of rose and amber, echoing the sky, while the reflection of the tall trees appears as a soft, rippling shadow. A narrow strip of rounded river stones marks the boundary between bank and water—cool gray in tone, slightly glistening, and arranged in a natural, unpatterned scatter.

I’m Rose, and I’ve melted into this couch like warm butter. Don’t bother me—I’m running a top-secret mission called “Sleep Until Food Happens.” My nose is parked here, my eyes are shut, and unless I hear a snack hit the floor, I’m not moving. Carry on. I’m busy being adorable.

Rainbow Peak

The sky shifts in layered hues

warm apricot and soft tangerine from a lingering sunset glow blend into cooler blues, violets, and slate grays as evening advances.

Glacier National Park Park September

#nationalparks #scape #landscape
A broad mountain lake lies in complete stillness, its surface so calm it mirrors the sky and peaks with near-perfect clarity. In the distance, a massive, rugged mountain rises with commanding presence—its upper slopes washed in muted amber and rose tones from the fading light. The lower flanks descend into dense, dark conifer forest that drapes the shoreline in deep green shadow. Wisps of illuminated cloud drift above the ridgeline, their colors reflected directly below in the water, creating an inverted, painterly double of sky and stone. Near the foreground, the lakebed is visible through the clear shallows—small, smooth stones muted by depth and faint color, offering a quiet counterpoint to the grandeur beyond. The reflection of the mountains and clouds stretches across the entire frame, rippling only slightly.

Happy Wednesday everyone

🌈🌈🌈Rainbow Peak the 9th tallest peak in Glacier National Park

Part of the Livingston Mountains

Delicate streaks of high cirrus clouds pull across the blue like brushed silk.

#NationalParks #scape #landscape #eastcoastkin
Below is a formal, long, naturalistic description of the scene: ⸻ Description A broad mountain meadow stretches across the foreground, its grasses turned a rich late-season gold that sways in a soft, uniform sheet. The field is quiet and open, edged in the distance by a dense line of evergreens—dark, upright, and tightly packed—forming a deep green boundary that rises like a natural wall. Their tips create a jagged line against the horizon, a steady counterpoint to the sweeping peaks beyond. Behind this forest curtain, a series of mountain ridges lift sharply into view. The nearest and most dominant summit stands in full relief beneath the afternoon sun, its broad, pyramidal crown catching a pale, sandy light. The ridges descending from it fall into deep blue-gray shadow, giving the entire massif a sculpted, monumental presence. Smaller spurs and companion peaks taper outward from the central mountain, each softened by distance, their colors shifting from slate to muted violet. Stretching across the upper half of the image, the sky is expansive and animated. Delicate streaks of high cirrus clouds pull across the blue like brushed silk, while larger, rounded cumulus clusters gather in bright, weightless formations. Their edges glow white in the sunlight, casting soft shadows on one another and drifting slowly across the alpine backdrop. To the right and left, tall conifer stands frame the scene, dark and steadfast, creating the sense of looking into a sheltered and protected expanse of wilderness. The interplay of golden meadow, evergreen forest, blue-toned mountains, and wide, cloud-layered sky

Rose said Hang your #TongueoutTuesday

Because it’s beautiful!!

#goldenretriever
A golden retriever stands alert in a forest clearing, its coat glowing with rich, honey-gold tones. The dog’s mouth is open, tongue lolling happily to one side, and its eyes are fixed on something just out of view—curious, perhaps waiting for a command or the rustle of a squirrel. Its collar, dark with reflective stitching, catches a trace of light against the soft focus of pine needles, moss, and scattered leaves below. Behind it, another golden retriever is partly visible, tail raised and mid-stride, giving the sense that the two are exploring together—companions in motion beneath the trees. The setting is calm yet alive with the quiet energy of a cool day outdoors, the ground mottled with lichens and pine straw, the forest breathing all around them.

Happy Tuesday and now something completely different…. 🌞🌞🌞🌼🌼🌼

Glacier National Park a September #sunrise

#Eastcoastkin #Scape #landscape #artyear #BlueTue #coloraday #nationalparks
A serene, pre-dawn or early morning scene captures the moment when night still lingers and the first light gathers quietly behind the mountains. The dark silhouettes of the peaks rise sharply against a sky veiled with layered clouds—deep indigos and muted grays giving way to a pale, awakening light at the horizon. Below, the lake mirrors the sky so perfectly that the world seems doubled, the reflection nearly indistinguishable from the heavens above. The surface is glass-still, with faint ripples only softening the illusion of symmetry. The pale blues and silvers of the clouds are echoed in the water, and the boundary between earth and sky dissolves into one tranquil continuum.

2 years ago today Bleu was showing off!!

13 days later he would be on a plane ✈️ on his way to Montana with me..

#goldenretriever
This little golden fluff looks like he’s practicing for his future role as “Neighborhood Mayor.” Sitting proudly in the sun, chest puffed out, chin tilted toward the heavens — he’s clearly making an important announcement, possibly about snack distribution or the unfair shortage of belly rubs in his jurisdiction. With his fur gleaming like warm toast and that expression of regal confidence, he seems to be saying, “Yes, peasants, I am adorable — and yes, I will accept your offerings of treats and praise.”

Happy #MountainMonday friends
Have a great Monday 🌹🌞🌞🌞🌈🌈🌈

Glacier National Park
September ‘25

#NationalParks #Artyear #scape #landscape #Eastcoastkin
A grand mountain rises like an ancient fortress, its pale gray cliffs etched with time and storm. The stone face is streaked with shadows that deepen every ridge and fold, giving it the solemn dignity of an old monarch gazing over a kingdom of green. Below, the forest stretches in layered waves—deep pines blending into younger groves of gold and rust where the land still heals from old fire or windfall. The sky above gathers its thoughts in soft violet clouds, heavy yet tender, diffusing light that turns the crags to lavender and the valleys to emerald smoke. It feels both eternal and transient—the mountain unshaken, the air restless, whispering that autumn has begun to move quietly through the trees.

Honestly he is half lion..

Bleu surveying his domain from today’s walk.. was 48 degrees when we started 45 minutes later you can see the snow ❄️

#goldenretriever
A golden retriever stands like a woodland knight—chest puffed, mane flowing, surveying his pine-scented kingdom. A few lazy snowflakes drift down as if to crown him ruler of this noble realm. Tongue lolling, eyes bright, he looks both heroic and slightly bewildered—perhaps pondering whether to chase a squirrel, a snowflake, or his own tail. The wind ruffles his fur just enough to make him appear freshly styled by nature herself.

This golden retriever looks like she just finished an Olympic-level game of “chase absolutely nothing” and won gold in enthusiasm. Tongue out, eyes sparkling, she’s clearly happy. Her fur’s sprinkled with grass confetti—nature’s way of applauding her performance. The pose? A perfect mix of “glamour shot” and “I might roll in something unspeakable next.”

This golden retriever looks like he’s in full “mountain marathon” mode — ears flapping, mane flowing, and a face that says, “You said we were going for a short walk, not the Iditarod!” He’s galloping down the trail with the enthusiasm of someone who just remembered there’s bacon at home. Every tuft of fur seems to be participating in its own wind tunnel experiment. You can almost hear him thinking, “Outta my way, I’ve got important stick business ahead!”
