Skywatch Friday: What Raven Said

On a mid-June morning, Fog shrouded Butte, Montana's Silverbow valley (view from Walkerville; Timber Butte poking up through the fog left center w/ Anselmo mine "gallows frame" lower right):

Raven awoke early and drank her coffee. She waited for Sun so she could eat breakfast in the valley. And waited. But Fog kept Valley hidden. Raven quorked the ancient language:

Sun answered, and Chokecherry Blossom rejoiced:

I've heard that what the raven said was "Nevermore."

Very beautiful photographs. This post is a treat for me because my Mother's father, who I never met, worked in the copper mines in Butte for a long time.

Wonderful post, ER! Enjoying the photos, and the idea that Raven brought Sun up from underneath the fog. Lovely idea.

I love how you used the Native American legend style to tell the tale. The photos are great, too.
Thanks for the link to "Since she started to ride." Cute song, and we hadn't heard it before.
Steve often says I'd move my horse inside if I could only get him potty trained. This is probably true...
