Light is galloping across the hills
Glistening roan, bay, and dun.
Splotches of palomino and skewbald
reflect the canter of the clouds
across the sun.

The light was so fantastic above Kalamalka Lake on the drive home today. I wish I’d had a camera to capture the long light, and gleaming fields of gold, russet, and brown above the lake! Words will have to do, though Michael Russell’s beautiful photo will give you an idea of the hills and the cantering clouds, at least!
What a beautiful photo, wow! I love ‘the canter of the clouds’ – lovely poem:-)
Isn’t it? I was surprised how I couldn’t find any gorgeous shots of the long light I always love to see as I come north along Kalamalka Lake in late afternoon. The valleys and hills are absolutely stunning.
That is beautiful
Glad you like it.
Ilike this your post very much .Have nice day
Thank you!
Thank you to my friend, have nice day With love maxima
Lovely Shawn.You have a poetic heart. xxx Huge Hugs xxx
Glad you like it, David. I bet you have some gorgeous light playing upon those Welsh hills?
We certainly do sometimes Shawn- when it’s not raining. Though our hills and mountains don’t compare to yours they do have their own beauty. xxx Hugs xxx
Thought I’d share my cloud poem with you it’s posted somewhere among my scribbles –
See them scut across the sky
They have no wings but still they fly
They look like little balls of fluff
They call them clouds that fluffy stuff.
Chris.
Thanks for sharing!
I see them – you’ve provided a perfect lyrical accompaniment except for neglecting the rabbit picking his nose in the bottom right hand corner! Otherwise perfect, thank you.
rabbit? :-S
A beautiful poem and what a beautiful place to write it in!
Yes. It’s a beautiful drive! I live an hour north where things are much greener, but I love the light on these hills
And I can see why.
Your words are perfect to inspire the imagination.
Thank you!
what a nice photo of the most beautiful clouds and mountains. 🙂
Yes, Michael Russell is an excellent photographer!
The picture suffices.
*because it is a beautiful picture, and your words are provide vivid imagery too.
Thank you.
Unique use of words to tie everything together, including the photo; well done.
Thank you
