Montana Summer


this piece came to life
due to summer storms

in the past month i have experienced two trees
being hit by lightning
 
the sound of a hit is SO dramatic!

bits of tree fly everywhere 
even hang from other trees
 
the storm then passes and skies clear
rainbows rise above
flowers dance under the sun

hard to know there was ever a storm
except 
there is one less tree standing

Montana Summer!

they say if you don't like the weather:
wait five minutes!

  1. Holy, two trees! Amazing how mean and wonderful nature can be! My son plays football in Great Falls this Friday, hopefully the weather will cooperate! Every year we have visited at this time of year and it has been hot like a sauna! Our weather here in Alberta is the same...wait five minutes and it changes!

    I really like your representation of your weather, especially the arrow shaped lightning bolts! Hopefully things calm down for you and no more trees are sacrificed!

  5. What a mighty experience a Montana summer storm must be. And how generous of the trees to give themselves up to the energetic act of balance.

    love your image.

  6. This is a very pretty drawing. Love all the collors.
    Summer in Holland is also about sun, hot weather and after that rain and thunder.

  7. Adventurous text about your weather-life in this month!
    Drama and light-dancing between a few moments!

    The drawing is as peaceful as the drawer...

  8. They say the same thing about the weather in Kansas. Oh Montana...so beautiful. I hope to see it at summer time one of these days before my family there decides to move somewhere else.

    I so enjoyed browsing through your gentle and beautiful art and photos Tammie. Peace is what strings every post together.
