An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

I captured the mood of the mountains at several stages this past weekend. It always fascinates me how quickly the weather conditions can change.
We were expecting a big snow storm on Saturday but it didn't amount to much; at least not where I live. We did get a mild sprinkling of snow on the mountains and in the city which you can see in the photos below.
The storm did arrive overnight on Sunday. This morning's news said that some schools were closed up the valley, about an hour or so away from me. Big snowflakes were falling here outside my window a few moments ago and fog shrouded the mountains.
Right now though, the sky has cleared a bit and the snow has stopped.
I am not sure what the next few days has in store. So far it is not too bad where I am but I intend to stay cosy indoors. This is a good time for me to "catch up" on housework.

Hi Caroline, I am so blessed to have such a view. I am happy every time I look out my window. My blog changes are many as we go through the different changes and holidays. They will slow down again as we get to Spring/Summer. Thanks for stopping by :-)
DeleteGreat post! Very inspiring. I am on my way to a parade to celebrate Dr. King.
ReplyDeleteLV, it's always lovely to have you visit. I hope you will enjoy the parade. It's always good to remember the great leaders of yesteryear and their inspiring vision for humanity.

Thank you, Kay. I'm glad you enjoyed my mountain shots. I'm so blessed to see them each and every day, except when they are enshrounded in fog (not often). Luv, P
DeleteYou did capture them in a variety of weather.
ReplyDeleteWe are waiting anxiously for some stormy weather. It is in the forecast and certainly needed. I will miss the delightful weather we have been experiencing but it will be worth it. We need the rain.
Thank you, Martha. It is important to get rain and snow to replenish water supply. I hope you get yours.
DeleteA beautiful and inspiring post indeed! Superb photos of such a wonderful place! Love the mountains! Have a wonderful weekend, Penny!

ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup pour vos aimables commentaires et pour votre visite à mon blog
DeleteI love mountains and I live in a country flat like a pancake (Belgium) lol !
ReplyDeleteAw Gattina, it is such a pity you cannot enjoy the mountains every day. But I think your travels keep you happy1
DeleteI'm indoor today too, it's to cold outside because I love it warm and friendly.:)
ReplyDeleteYour 3rd shot is my favorit, so wonderful view of mountains and the little church in front, great!
Have a nice day - moni
Hello Moni, I'm glad you are keeping warm and cosy. It has turned cold in much of my province but I am warm enough inside. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteFantastic view of the mountains from your window! I love seeing the snow fall. I love playing in the snow. But when I'm finished, I want it to be gone and not become that half mud-half snow splishy splashy mess that it often becomes. hahahah. Beautiful time to relax by a cozy hearth.
ReplyDeleteThank you Fred. I understand what you mean. When I was growing up we had a month or so of muddy experience when the snow was melting. Where I live now we don't get much of that. I can't relax by my hearth because it still isn't working. I've been researching who can come over and fix it.
DeleteWhat a wonderful view! Beautiful light in the last picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and photos.. Canada is Beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joe. I too think Canada is beautiful! But I think that about most places I've travelled! lol
DeleteYes, mountain weather changes by the moment. I think that's what I love about it. Very cold here in CO today - minus temps.
ReplyDeleteBetween the mountains and the little birds that come to play, I can keep quite entertained. Thanks for stopping by :-)
