Today I am reposting a favorite post from February 1st of this year and joining others in linking to Seth Apter's Buried Treasures collaborative. Seth's idea is that "There are so many brilliant artists out there but so little time to explore all their work fully. This gives us all an opportunity to see highlights from posts we may have missed from so many of our favorite bloggers." Visit Seth at The Altered Page to explore the work of others.

my son in his infant seat. "Look

then drive the three blocks home in the silence
reflected under clouds.
Growing up in Montana I did not realize until one of my first trips home after moving here exactly why they call it "Big Sky Country". I miss Montana summer skies and the amazing thunder & lightning shows. Yet California has it's own beauty. Thank you for reminding me, it gives me a smile Irene.
