Clouds over the cascades this afternoon. 💙🩶

Cascade foothills and mountains. Dark green conifers, blue rolling mountains, billowing gray and white clouds with blue sky between.

Eastern Bluebird

A kind of blue...

A blue, tan, and white Eastern Bluebird is perched on a fence post. The background is boards in the fence.

Watching the #Sunset from Glacier #NationalPark standing on the Flathead River bank

“A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the very earth itself.” -John Muir

A broad river moves quietly across the foreground, its surface lightly rippled and reflecting the amber glow of late-day light. The current appears steady but unhurried, brushing past a low bank where several pale driftwood logs lie angled and partially embedded in gravel and silt. The water’s edge is irregular, softened by grasses and low shrubs that lean slightly toward the channel.

Beyond the river stands a dense band of deciduous trees, likely cottonwoods or aspens, their foliage turning warm shades of gold and muted bronze. The leaves catch the slanting light unevenly, so some crowns appear illuminated while others sink into shadow, creating depth and texture. Darker conifers punctuate the line of trees, rising in sharper silhouettes.

Behind this riparian corridor rises a single, rounded mountain, its slopes forested and rendered in deep blue-gray tones by distance and atmospheric haze. The ridge line is smooth and continuous, without sharp crags, suggesting an older, weathered formation rather than a jagged alpine peak.

Above it all, the sky dominates. A large vertical cloud mass towers behind the mountain, its edges softly defined and tinted with peach, apricot, and pale gold from the lowering sun. The light radiates outward, diffused by thinner cloud layers, producing a warm, luminous gradient that contrasts with the cool mountain silhouette.

The overall impression is one of transitional light—either late evening or the closing phase of a summer storm—where warmth in the sky meets the cool stability of land and water. The scene feels still but not static: the river continues to move, the light continues to shift, and the clouds remain in slow ascent.

There is not a fragment in all nature, for every relative fragment of one thing is a full harmonious unit in itself.-John Muir

A broad alpine lake lies still beneath a ceiling of low cloud, its surface dark and glassy except for faint ripples spreading in soft, concentric lines near the foreground. The water reflects the mountain range opposite in muted grayscale—peaks inverted and slightly blurred, as though painted in diluted ink.

Across the far shore, a dense band of conifer forest forms a nearly unbroken line of shadow at the water’s edge. The trees rise uniformly, their tops dissolving into a long horizontal ribbon of fog that drifts midway up the slope. The fog appears to cling to the forested incline, neither fully rising nor falling, but suspended—like breath caught between exhale and inhale.

Above the treeline, the mountains step upward in jagged succession. The nearer ridges are dark and textured, while the higher summits fade into mist, their outlines softened and partially obscured. The tallest peaks vanish into a thick veil of cloud, giving the impression that the mountains continue upward beyond what can be seen.

The sky is uniformly overcast, a pale wash of gray without distinct cloud shapes, creating a subdued, quiet atmosphere. There is no visible human presence—no docks, boats, or structures—only water, forest, stone, and vapor.

The overall scene conveys early morning or post-rain stillness: cool air, damp earth, and the slow, silent movement of cloud along the mountainside.
