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.

Can't get over what a fabulous view you have from your window... And can't keep up with your blog changes!! Smart.
Caroline
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 :-)
Great post! Very inspiring. I am on my way to a parade to celebrate Dr. King.
Great sequence!! Boom & gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Wonderful view, Penny! I miss those mountains a lot, so it's great to see them on your blog.
Luv, K
LV, 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, Gary!
You did capture them in a variety of weather.
We 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, 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
A beautiful and inspiring post indeed! Superb photos of such a wonderful place! Love the mountains! Have a wonderful weekend, Penny!
Sylvia
How beautiful your mountains are, even with the threat of a storm. Hope you kept cosy. Love the MLK quote too. Thank you. xx
Thank you, Martha. It is important to get rain and snow to replenish water supply. I hope you get yours.
Thank you, Sylvia. I'm so glad you love the mountains. You have a lovely week also!
Thank you, Jan. We live near to the ocean but it is the mountains that greet me every morning. Glad you like the MLK quote. xx
Gorgeous views of the mountains! I would love to see this scene every morning. Wow, lucky you!
Yes, Eileen, I am so lucky :-) Thanks for popping by!
Oh, these are wonderful shots and I like to see the differences. You live in an incredible place. What a view! Where do you live?
Nice that I came to your interesting blog, thanks for your comment.
I love Africa. And I traveled over land all the way from Cape Town to Alexandria. I have friends in Namibia, Zambia and Kenya.
Lovely collection of weather and mountain shots!
Love all those changes, nature is a wonderful thing. Diane
Stunning captures Penny, together with a strong message. Thanks for sharing your beautiful part of the world.
Thank you, Carola. I live in Vancouver on Canada's west coast. I love Africa too! It's so great that you've travelled so much of it.
Thank you, NixBlog!
Hi Diane, nature is indeed a wonderful thing. Thanks for the visit!

Thank you, Carver. I looked for one of my favourite MLK quotes. One that perhaps not too many are familiar with. I'm glad you like it.

great scenery! And the weather is always fascinating.
What beautiful views, very nice shots.
Thank you, NF! The weather is indeed fascinating.
Thank you, Al for taking the time to visit!
That's a beautiful view from your window. The church steeple is very well accented with the snow capped mountain!
Did get a chance to join the MLK parade, they were scheduled Saturday and Sunday, and one today.
I'm glad you appreciate the view, Ebie, and that you had a chance to join a MLK parade.
Beautiful landscapes. The change is very much visible.
Thank you, Rajesh.
I'm indoors too today! But that's because where I am downunder in Australia it's HOT!! Have a great day inside - hope we can both get out & about soon!
Beautiful scenery you have there. Love the third image!
Wow! Extreme weather of any kind can drive us inside. I hope you have air conditioning or good air flow :-)
Thank you, Lew. I'm glad you have a favourite image.
Truly a magnificent frame with a delicious light, majestic mountains.
Hello Joyful
Incredibly beautiful pictures you show.
DMI (weather forecast) says that we may receive 10-15 cm of snow on Saturday.
Wishing you a very good day.
Hugs Hanne Bente ♥
belles series de cette eglise avec la montagne derriere
Thank you, Leovi for your kind words.
Tak Hanne! Har du en god uge og hold dem varme.
Merci beaucoup pour vos aimables commentaires et pour votre visite à mon blog
I love mountains and I live in a country flat like a pancake (Belgium) lol !
I'm indoor today too, it's to cold outside because I love it warm and friendly.:)
Your 3rd shot is my favorit, so wonderful view of mountains and the little church in front, great!
Have a nice day - moni
Fantastic 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.
Aw Gattina, it is such a pity you cannot enjoy the mountains every day. But I think your travels keep you happy1
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!
Thank 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.
Thanks for your respons. And yes, AHH I LOVE VANCOUVER (one of the best cities in the world) This is my Vancouver post
What a wonderful view! Beautiful light in the last picture.
Great post and photos.. Canada is Beautiful
Thank you, Joe. I too think Canada is beautiful! But I think that about most places I've travelled! lol
Yes, mountain weather changes by the moment. I think that's what I love about it. Very cold here in CO today - minus temps.
Between the mountains and the little birds that come to play, I can keep quite entertained. Thanks for stopping by :-)
