so interesting

I have a thing for clouds. I am constantly taking photos of the beautiful skies to submit to one of my favorite sites - www.clouds365.com/community  Here, hundreds of people post photos from all over the world of the skies above, all from that day. I have met such fantastic people through this site, from Europe and India, Canada and Argentina, ALL over the United States, and we all have a love for watching the skies.

Quite often I receive comments on the photos I post, usually things like wonderful and awesome, sometimes specific comments about the colors or scenery from that particular photo, but this photo brought a new comment, "so interesting" - that was it - what a perfect comment!

Who knows what she saw here that attracted her and caused her to take the time to comment, it could be the red of the soil, the slice of sunshine in the distance, the snow caps on the mountains, the fog over the distant layers of mountains, the low, gray clouds - anything, it's up to the person reading the comment to interpret.

I think most everything is interesting out here in the Wild West - nice to know someone else saw it that way.

How could time have gone that fast? 7 months ago was my last post?

It is November 9th today, the first real snow to speak of, very late this year. Work has kept me busy, both my real "day job" and the work here at the ranch - the Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons were so very beautiful!
We had calves, most survived, a few did not - I've learned to accept things  I thought I wouldn't be able to. The land proved to be harsh but yet forgiving of our Eastern idiocy - we had fantastic visits with family and friends, and I saw new and wonderful things.



Time.
When I was in school, and then as my children grew and went through school, life was in sections of time, beginning of school, Christmas break, Spring break, almost Summer, and the very best - SUMMER and each section of time seemed to stand on it's own.
Almost 30 years later, the sections are not dictated by anything other than mother nature and they blend as they fade, one into the next, and before I know it years have passed and I wonder what I missed while life was buzzing by.

In January, I vow to stop and smell the snow, drink in the silence and the vastness, until then, I'll keep working at it all - promises to post more photos soon!
