Mountains Posed

It’s Majestic Marvel Monday! Since Mondays can often be one of the tougher days of the week and for many, it means back to the daily grind, what better way to put a smile on your face than to marvel at His majestic wonders! I absolutely love photography! It is both a creative outlet and passion that brings me joy. So, each Monday, I will post at least one photo of God’s majestic marvels I’ve captured. See and be in awe of His creations and beauty!

It was a very gray kinda day in Alaska, yesterday. How it reminded me so, of back home in Portland, where the skies are drab and the rain drizzles constantly. The temperatures warmed up, and the roads thawed making for a nice Sunday drive, however. And although I didn’t catch any sun or blue skies, these Mountains Posed for me.

The mountains will bring peace to the people, And the little hills, by righteousness.
-Psalm 72:3

“Hear this, O Job; stop and consider the wondrous works of God. -Job 37:14

Sundown Sunday

On January 17, 2022January 17, 2022 By PhillippiIn PhotographyLeave a comment

Alaska is truly God’s country and a photographer’s paradise. There’s no denying it. Even if I can only give you teeny glimpses of our Creator’s magnificent beauty in my photos, that is my hope.

Today’s photo, Sundown Sunday, was a shot I snapped as the sun was setting behind the peaks, leaving a golden glow in the sky. A bald eagle screeched moments before and took off in the opposite direction flying over the icy cold river. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quick enough to capture it. It was a beautiful sight, however.

For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. -Psalm 95:3-4

Wispy Winterland

Wispy Winterland was an image I shot while riding shotgun yesterday on our Sunday drive. With a little too much cabin fever, I needed a change of scenery-to take in our Creator’s beauty that we are so blessed to be surrounded by. Getting out-even for a short drive, does wonders to combat going stir-crazy during these long, frozen winters.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. -Psalm 19:1

Billowy Bluffs

Billowy Bluffs was another “from the passenger window” shot I snapped, as my husband cruised down the highway at full speed. Although we’ve been here just over a year, the Alaskan landscape and God’s natural beauty still never ceases to amaze me. The towering mountains that surround us have a strength about them that reveal just how mighty our Creator is.

Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit. -Psalm 147:5

River Frost

River Frost was quickly snapped as the sun was setting over these Alaskan mountains along the Russian River. The pink glow reminds me of God’s light that is ever present and cannot be hidden. Like Him, let us shine our light for all to see so He can be forever glorified.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. -Matthew 5:14-16

“Hear this, O Job; stop and consider the wondrous works of God. -Job 37:14

Frosty Swans

On November 22, 2021November 21, 2021 By PhillippiIn Photography4 Comments

This past Saturday, as the temperature dipped in the negatives, and the sun set on the mountains, it was a perfect evening for some winter wonderland photos. I snuck this one by jumping out of the car in the middle of a bridge, when no cars were coming, after witnessing this glowing, magical scene with frosty swans bathing in the icy cold river.

Jack Frost’s Tears

On November 15, 2021November 14, 2021 By PhillippiIn PhotographyLeave a comment

With several inches of snow piling up this past week, the cold recently blasted us, here in Alaska. Having dropped down to single digits, just about everything surrounding us is frozen-which makes for some lovely pictures. Below are some captures of Jack Frost’s Tears, three of my favorite macro shots I took a few days ago.

Arctic Looking Glass

Arctic Looking Glass was another shot I snapped out the passenger window recently, while trucking down an Alaska highway. We had just gotten some freshly fallen snow two days prior and although some began to melt, the mountain tops were piled high, offering a glimpse of what’s to come.

The Mighty One

On March 15, 2021 By PhillippiIn PhotographyLeave a comment

Today’s photo, The Mighty One, was captured in our backyard in Alaska. There was something about this lone leaf that I was particularly drawn to. Perhaps, it was because it was still standing in the dead of winter fighting the freezing temperatures. Perhaps, it was because it was one of the last ones standing, shouting “I will survive”, when most of the others had fallen. Perhaps, it reminded me a little bit of myself, holding on with all my might during the storms of life. Whatever it was, I couldn’t help but take several pictures of it. The symbolism and beauty of this leaf hanging on had me mesmerized.

Peek-a-boo Shine

On February 22, 2021February 24, 2021 By PhillippiIn Photography2 Comments

I recently introduced a new element to my blog: Majestic Marvel Monday. Since Mondays can often be one of the tougher days of the week and for many, it means back to the daily grind, what better way to put a smile on your face than to marvel at His majestic wonders! I absolutely love photography! It is both a creative outlet and passion that brings me joy. So, each Monday, I will post at least one photo of God’s majestic marvels I’ve captured. See and be in awe of His creations and beauty! And, as an added bonus, I get to share a little bit of Alaska with y’all.

Today’s photo, Peek-a-boo Shine, was shot last week, in the woods behind our cabin in Alaska. The sun was beginning to go down and I caught it playing Peek-a-boo in the snow-covered trees.
