Morning Sky in West Yellowstone

In 2012 Betsy and I made our first trip to Yellowstone National Park.  On that part of the trip we stayed in West Yellowstone, Montana.  We got up earl one morning so we could get an early start to the park.  That was when I got this picture of the morning sky as the sun peeked over the mountains in the east

Although Betsy and I were married in June, we did to get to take our honeymoon cruise until September.  Our cruise visited the southern Caribbean and lasted a little over a week.

One of the islands we visited was Antigua.  While there we tired the island ad visited Shirley’s Height, an old military lookout and gun battery overlooking the Antigua coast.  It was there that I got this picture of the coastline.

Betsy and I made several trips out west when we were younger and could hike and enjoy nature up close and personal.  We often had to get up at the crack of dawn in order to reach our next destination.  I got this early morning picture of the Montana sky in 2012.

Several years ago we made a birthday trip to Florida so Betsy could visit her over brother.  We traveled down the east coast of the state and spent a couple of days at Oranon beach.  Although our hotel room overlooked the Atlantic Ocean, I was able to get this pretty picture of the evening sky as the sun set behind us.

Moon Over the Glade

I’ve often tried (usually without much success) to get a good photograph of the moon.  While I feel very inadequate at night-time photography, I do better when the moon makes an appearance during the day.  I got this picture of the moon over our house a few years ago.  I think the cloud which looks as if it is about to swallow the moon adds an interesting element to the photo.

Sunset in the Smokies

I captured this picture of the setting sun as we drove through the Smokies a few years ago.  We no longer drive after dark if we can help it, but I’m glad I was able to get this shot.

As yet we don’t have much autumn color here in the Glade, but once the leaves start changing the results can be beautiful.  (This picture is from my archives.)

An Evening Sky

Often there is something peaceful and serene about an evening sky.  I got this photo of the sky above our house a few years ago.

Great Smoky Mountains

On our way back home from Asheville, North Carolina, in June, Betsy and I drove through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Along the way we stopped at the Charles A. Webb Overlook on Newfound Gap Road where I got this picture.  The clouds were as beautiful as the mountains.  June 24, 2025.

Clouds

Often clouds in the sky mean that some nasty weather is on the way.  But sometimes clouds in the sky are brimming with joy and are saying “Look up!  Enjoy this beautiful world that we have!”
