Autumn amble ~ SWF

I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree
Indeed, unless the billboards fall
I’ll never see a tree at all.
–OGDEN NASH Song of the Open Road
The light in the larch beckons a walk in the woods even though it is raining. The colors of the day are washed brighter by the wet weather.
Sometimes the path leads into the sunset with clearing skies. Soon this will all be covered with snow.
At times the path could lead out onto the water….

I always love your photos in any season. Thank you for sharing!
More outstanding photos. Great work Christine. I love the expansive feeling that your photos seem to share.
You live in such a beautiful place Christine! So different from my crowded country (I’m listening to the busy road at the front as I type), that’s why your photos always bring me a good feeling! Thanks! (-:
Beautiful photographs, as always. As the second one scrolled up, I saw snow-capped mountains over open range. Then, the lovely clouds took shape.
Showing off that beautiful ‘big sky’ again, I see.
Does Montana have billboards? Maine got rid of them about the time I moved here. I wonder how many states still have them?
What beautiful sky photo’s of a beautiful country. I love your blog.
Yes, there’s something about wet tree trunks that makes the color really stand out!
Christine, Your paths lead to gorgeous places under beautifully changing skies!
Great scenes.
Wonderful scenery and beautiful skies.
Love those big sky photos. Happy SWF.
Wonderful vistas
Love the Ogden Nash poem too!
Hugs and blessings,
Wow, amazing shots. I haven’t been through Montana since I was a kid. We scooted down there from Alberta while travelling to Vancouver from Toronto. I still have memories of that.
Amazing vistas! Your photo captures are magnificent. I especially enjoyed the intro by one of my favorite poets, Ogden Nash.
Have a great weekend. (oh the word verification is definitely for me, my daughter would ” verify”: It is “kooky!”
Your photos are always stunning. Just the very best.
Beautiful images. That flat water is really calling out for a kayak.
Ahhh you’re pictures are like a breath of fresh air- just stunning!
Beautiful photos, and I love the poem as well.
what a beautiful walk you’ve taken us on. my only regret is that I can’t join you physically. these vistas are a feast for the eyes. hope all is well.
Ah, Christine. I stay away too long, but come back just when your words and images are prepared to deliver exactly what my heart longs to hear. Thank you.
