Living at the base of the Rocky Mountains often goes unappreciated by me. That is until I look up and see the grandeur of Mt. Timpanogus covered with snow. Timp… the magnificent protector…looms over our little valley here in Utah. It is an unusual mountain because you can view the front side of the mountain one minute… and ten minutes later you can be on the other side, enjoying a completely different perspective. I live on the front or city side of the mountain… and my sister, Sheila enjoys the view from the backside or country side . We debate on who has the best vista.
After leaving her home the other day and rounding the corner, the backside of the mount came into full view. Wow… I couldn’t resist jumping out of my car and taking this shot of Timp, the clear blue sky, white snow and the red barn in the foreground. I’ll have to admit… on this day… Sheila’s argument for beauty won.
However… look at view that greets me every time I round the corner away from my house. As the seasons change… so does the face of the mountain… and the winter perspective is one of my favorites.
The debate is over… I think we’re both right… don’t you?
On this “Only The Good” Friday, I wanted to share with you two perspectives of this majestic mountain which uplifts my soul.
On this day, we share many points of view of what is good and great. Check out a few of my friends who want to share their gift of the”Good.” Sheila and Shelly and Karina and Mo

P.S. In between my house and Shiela’s is the turn off to the famous Sundance. The Sundance view is the backside of Timp at closer range. I’ll share that view of Timpanogus with you at at later time. It’s a magnificent perspective too.
P.P.S. Have a “Good Friday.” Look around and see what is great and good in your neighborhood.

So beautiful! You have me sighing wistfully about my view of houses with peeling paint and pockmarked pitted streets. But there’s beauty here too… I’ve got an Only The Good post up at http://everydaytarot.today.com/2009/03/13/only-the-good-friday-2-the-law-of-return-and-me/ – please drop by!
Yep, we still have snow on the Wasatch Back. My daffodils have popped up. So have my tulips….the deer found that out last night.
Good Friday to you.
Sheila
The best view is from whereever you are at the moment. It is glorious no matter what!
Through out my day, I am greeted with a view of Sunrise Mountain to the east & The Red Rock Mountain Range to the west.
I have spent much time on Utah roads and know your landscape well. Your pictures are beautiful and have me itching for a road trip
