the mission mountains in a montana day of may ~

celebrating this bride-to-be’s birthday. 

making plans.  and making coffee. 

{see the post on rachel and weston ~ i took the engagement photos december 2013}

i planned the menu.  

and she planned the day she says “i do.”  

and dreamed of a future with the one her soul has found, and loves.

she has beautiful choices to make for her bride’s bouquet:

they are very beautiful. romantic.  old fashioned.  her colors are navy blue, taupe, coral, and peachy-pinks.  

and time to return home, driving along with the towering companionship of the springtime mission mountains:

can you see the ladies here? their long, slim bodies, hands posted on the waist, a curly skirt {dried leaves} and fluffy hairstyles?!

yes ~ stop! {so we did}  and we were richly rewarded with contrasting views, one to the east, and one to the west {below}.  

we do our best to take it all in.  and seeing all the gifts we can never fully see, because there are so many!  {amen}.

have a beautiful, full and “seeing the gifts” day.
{and will soon be showing the cabin rose quilt inspired by those flowers, too!}
