quote: Snow in June A hot summer July day sun blinded, relentless snow flakes fell from one solitary cloud as it settled over ragged tors. Fireweed and bluebells wore the mantle of purity wimples surrounded colorful petals as the flakes flurried hurried to wipe dust from leaves on a hot summer day in July Glacial valleys felt the cooling taste of water as ice fed the streams Gleaming white, cold through the eons gazed down upon grasslands and rivers created by ice gouging out a home and byways in its recent shy retreat On a hot July day that spills from midnight sun days of June while snow falls on flowers and glacial streams run high and fast celebrate the unexpected, dance in the unknown and marvel at living with glaciers. ---- To Jaime ---- xoxoxo Ali |

I did enjoy the contrasts in this beautuful piece. one can be reminded that it snows in June in the Southern Hemisphere where the seasons are opposite. |

Ida, Thank you for reading and seeing. Alison - RDB, You always make me feel so good inside. I wrote this in a response to Jaime's questions last summer and he suggested I move it to a post of its own. Ali-girl - D. Lester Young, Thank you for reading and commenting. This day was actually a day in Alaska. A few years ago, we had snow on the flowers on my birthday in July. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Again, thank you. A |

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Aliiiiiiiiii! I wish that I could give more than my throbbing, beating passion (l) heart, my open arms ready to receive you, my smile that is your spirit in reflection. For the rest of my life, Ali, I will keep a special place in my heart and in my thoughts for Ali snowy night owl, and always want to be there for you, and right with you, at any time and for any reason ---- if only by computer (sighs) Though I wonder why I keep getting mixed with Alaskans? ... I will never have any money to travel there. So I guess I'll have to rely on Alison to show me the truth. Sends you h u xoxoxoxoxox g s  Friendship is for Life, if not Forever. |

"Fireweed and bluebells wore the mantle of purity" ...I like that ...and, of course, the rest is beautiful, too |
