Creative RV - Rolling Through Missoula, Montana

While I waited yesterday at a red light, this unique RV beauty rolled on through the intersection. I literally laughed out loud in delight at the sheer chutzpa that crafted it! 

Thankfully, they pulled around for a grocery stop, giving opportunity to share this photo. Be sure to zoom in on the upper story and be inspired - your goofiest ideas may just be achievable!

Smoke hazing the mountains fades up to a cloud-spattered sky. Oddly, this surrounding fug brings me to feel broadly disconcerted and yet appreciative of the ethereal effect on our local scenes  ...(& oh please oh please let those be rain clouds!)

I am a sleepy bee...buzz buzz-zzzzz.

Closer Clematis - Missoula, Montana

My blue-blue non-vining clematis (I call her Clemmy...) continues to amaze with the detail of beauty! Observe how the tiny, twisty centre resembles a thick head of hair a la 1980's crimper! Who thinks of these things?! (Hmmmmm...let's sit on the porch awhile and ponder such things...)

 

Kierkegaard On Walking.... - Missoula, Montana, Mount Sentinel Trail System

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk:  Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.”  Søren Kierkegaard  (1813-1855), in a letter to Jette, 1947
