XV: In the Morning x—Mount Rainier National Park: Panorama Point This original miniature acrylic painting of panorama point overlook on skyline trail captures one of the most classic overlooks on skyline ridge trail in Mount Rainier National Park. It is part of 'The Journey,' an ongoing collection of poetry and 600 mini landscapes in National Park locations created while traveling full-time in my vintage 1976 Avion Travelcader. In the Morning Between the rush of smooth water slipping, past roots and rocks Lavender and scarlet and blue, In little towers, Rise— Neither loud nor shy Kissed— By wings of blue butterflies Alone, in that hour, I was passing by, When the wind flared, blossoms shivered and the sun, With his coral arms, Unfolded Rainier’s glory: glaciers gleaming, cliffs immense And Myself? in this peace, I sit among the fields of lupine and paintbrush Who bow to the grandeur of the morning -Laura Van Moorleghem view the rest of the Mount Rainier subcollection or The Journey
