Montana's Rockies- List

I just returned from a trip to Montana where the Northern Rockies are still tipped in white traces of snow and the pines grow through crevices in rocks! The valleys peak through in hues of green below the shadows of hills that seem to roll on forever! the way the sun kisses the mountain beneath pink stained clouds the traces of white that blend with black shadows on tall peaks the trees that form in lines from rocky soil the way the flowers grow so vibrant and wild the way the thistle glows in silver blue tones the way you can span the horizon from tops of hills the golden eagles as it soars above the horses as they gallop freely on open fields of green the deer as they peer in your window as you rest the serenity especially at night the way the stars cover the ebony backdrop of skies the meteors as they fall from above in crimson flashes the way the milky way seems to open to another realm the shuttle in view as it orbits above the rings of saturn beneath telescopes with jupiter not far from site the glimpses of heaven on earth the fresh air without heavy droplets of humidity the slight breezes that whisper through the hills the simple beauty of it all that leaves you in awe July 28th 2019 Writing Challenge 3, July 2019 - List Sponsored by Dear Heart

Thank you John, we were on a ranch (we won the trip) between 7000-8000 ft in elevation and although the altitude messed with me, the beauty was like a page out of a book, especially the night skies....we had our pictures taken beneath the milky way and its gorgeous! :) hugs

Lists are normally so mundane. This list, on the other hand, is breathtaking. A breath of fresh mountain air, Sandra. Nicely done, and G.L. in the contest. Best wishes, Gershon
