So Montana

 Spring equinox

I wandered south with two dear friends

we found wildflowers blooming

in the sage lands

(Yellow Bells, Fritillaria pudica)

a rabbit in a most unlikely place

an old abandoned car

buttercups

high in the hills

an old barn

So Montana

a herd of deer

one with antlers

curious horses 

all in the Sage Lands of Montana

Sweet Spring 

or

Autumn 

to each of you

Along a Mountain Road

find mystery

and 

majesty

dignity

and

beauty

far off views

and 

intimate glimpses

~

Yes, the mamma of the baby grouse was near by!

Evening Walk

such an inviting road

still closed to cars due to avalanches

perfect for wandering

(Eureka Mountains)

exquisite flowers cloak the earth

like stars dance in the skies

wonderful flowers for us to find

so much bear grass that it inspires joy

the precious and tiny spotted saxifrage

look at what i found on my cabin!

a muddy bear print

at shoulder height

about the size of my hand:

summer is full on here

with days around 90F

pretty hot, but nice with a breeze and shade
