Geology

Land of mysterious processes where arches bow low to Geology; lateral moraines link time to space, chasms yawn in boredom, tectonic plates shift to the tune of an endless prairie sky.

Land of mysterious processes

where arches bow low to Geology;

lateral moraines link time to space,

chasms yawn in boredom,

tectonic plates shift to the tune

of an endless prairie sky.

    Wonderful. I am very interested in geology and Continental Shift Theory.
    Right now, we have a sunny + cold morning with shining snow. 🙂 Uta

      Thanks, Uta! I love geology myself – a fascinating subject. Enjoy your shining snow – it shouldn’t last too much longer now! 🙂

    No, no, please tell those tectonic plates to be still. We’ve had enough of their restlessness. 🙂

      I don’t know how much clout I have – but I’ll try! 🙂

    Sweet.

      Thanks Rob! 🙂

      Thanks, Russ! It’s so gratifying to know that what I find so much pleasure in can be equally enjoyed by strangers. I never get tired of that.. 🙂

    These science ones are always amazing, even as they make my eyes glaze over, and my head spin.

    1. melodylowes

      I actually thought of you as I was writing this one – I may just have thrown in some terms on purpose to help with that glazing effect. True courtesy never dies… 🙂

        You are one mean sister, Mel–just see how many likes you get, now! (Actually, I’m touched that you thought of me as you wrote–you knew you’d get the desired reaction.)

      2. melodylowes

        🙂 I may have to expand upon this geology theme (no apologies offered) just because of the glory of that gloriously crafted snow… Get your dictionary ready! *snort*

      3. Caddo Veil

        Maybe I’ll just take a vaca…

      4. melodylowes

        You can’t go anywhere I would want to go, or I’ll follow you there… 🙂

      5. Caddo Veil

        Har har har–you probably would, too–with your little geologic hammer in hand.

    That’s a great photo and I like the comparison to geology. Works well.

    1. melodylowes

      It was so stunning out there. So many processes were in evidence, it was fascinating. I need to get back out there before the snow gets past its expiration date…

      1. lylekrahn

        You obviously got a lot more interesting stuff than us. We drove around yesterday but didn’t find anything spectacular other than a lot of deer.

      2. melodylowes

        There are actual perfectly complete mini bridges – unbelievable. And perfect triangular prisms. Gullies and waves and lips and cliffs that you can’t even imagine. PLUS, the crystals were sparkling IN COLOUR – blue and pink and gold – I felt like I had found the pot of gold at the end of the – er, snow-bow. ? 🙂

      3. lylekrahn

        I’m guessing we will see more photos of all this

      4. melodylowes

        😀 Weird. It’s like you can read my mind…

  7. Debbie

    This was out of this world! And more of that teacher coming out of you! Thanks, Melody, for sharing your snow with us! 🙂

    1. melodylowes

      🙂 More to come! You can’t escape it!

  8. LizzieJoy

    Just to let you know, Melody, that I love your articles – both the inspiring, thought-provoking words and the gorgeous photos. They are a feast for my eyes and my heart. Bless you, dear friend.

    1. melodylowes

      Aw, thanks so much for your encouragement, and your presence here. It is a joy to get to know you a little better through your thoughts and your images…

  9. I HAVE A VOICE

    Melody ~do your melodies ever wane from grandiose ? this is a beautiful sonata!

    1. melodylowes

      🙂 Why, thank you, Ma’am! I just call it like I see it….

    Wonderful.

    1. melodylowes

      Thank you! The evidence of geological processes was so interesting out there…
