Morning in the Alps

September 8, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Photo taken my second morning hiking Vanoise National Park, France. It was another spectacular cloudless day. We couldn’t have asked for better weather.

Excerpt from upcoming post on thirdeyemom coming soon. This post is in response to Jakesprinter’s Sunday Post: […]

Mountain Butterfly

August 28, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Photo taken in La Vanoise Natioanl Park, France. August 2012. While hiking in the high Alps, I was amazed by the varieties of wildflowers growing throughout the peaks and valleys. Although it was past prime flower season, an intensely colorful tapestry of wildflowers continued to thrive. There were also tons of beautiful butterflies gracefully landing on flowers. I reminded me of the fragility of life and its utter beauty.

A cafe in the valley

August 27, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Photo taken in Pralognan-la-Vanoise, France. Flowers surrounded and illuminated this picturesque mountain town in the eastern region of France. Flowers lined the streets, seeped out of windows and graced the store fronts of shops and cafes. It created a merry, beautiful atmosphere in the heart of an already beautiful place.

White mountain flowers

Photo taken along La Tour de la Vanoise, France. I loved these wispy white flowers that swayed gently in the breeze. I don’t know what they are called but they certainly were beautiful.

Alpine wildflower

August 23, 2012 by thirdeyemom

I found these beauties along the Tour de la Vanoise in the French Alps. They appear to be some kind of thistle flower past its prime. I fell in love with their exotic, spindly look.

The path along the Alps

August 21, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Walking, walking, walking. Up, up, up. Breathing deep. Feeling each and every breath. The air was so fresh that it made my lungs smile. Photo taken along the trek of La Tour de la Vanoise.
