Glacier National Park
Montana, USA
March 2013
I still can't get over the aquamarine clarity of the winter waters in Glacier National Park.
The day Libby, David, and I reached Glacier, much of the park's roads had already been closed for months due to snow. But we trecked through the tightly packed snow to get as much of a glimpse of the park's beauty as possible.
The skies were clear as we parked the car and headed on our path, but we soon found ourselves in a frenzy of snowflakes. Surrounded by pure white and tall evergreens, that highly-oxygenated air has probably been the purest I've ever breathed.
I'm drawn to the deep turquoise and greens in this photo, and the warm browns of the rockbed underneath the flowing water. As I look at this one, I can almost hear the rushing water of the small waterfall just over my left shoulder.
It's a thought that makes me smile.
