A gentle start to your day as you head to the rallies. See you out there.

Nothing awakens spring within me quite like a flock of Snow Geese dropping above me.

What to do when it snows 15 in? Layer up and spend the day outside!

Posting another waterfall pic because even though winter is trying to make a resurgence today, this week has brought more light, cleansing, and lifting. #BlueSkyArtShow #Flowing #Montana

A gray, dreary, wet day. The remaining ice on the lakes is melting quickly.

Today was my first spotting of Buttercups for the season. Passing along to hopefully brighten your day.

The snow has been slow to return, but is falling with determination now. Mother Nature’s effort to bridge the #Holiday s. #BlueSkyArtShow #Montana

After 1.5 weeks of no power, phone, or WiFi I don’t have a lot of photos to share. Efforts were directed elsewhere. I will say I am immensely thankful for my headlamp and this setup so I could have my coffee. I’m certain those around me share that gratitude.

For the past week the #Sky has been a solid, dull, low hanging gray. But the arrival of this latest cold front added variegated patterns worthy of a stop to admire. #BlueSkyArtShow #NWMontana

There’s something about following very old blaze marks along a very old, barely there trail. Thoughts of what came before, watch carefully, what lies ahead… #Montana #ForestFriday

Very little blue to be found on this #BlueSkyMonday but the grey on grey adds some mystery and drama to start the week. #Montana #NaturePhotography #LandscapePhotography

A brilliant sunrise greeting the arriving winter storm. Nothing makes me feel #small quite like Mother Nature. #BlueSkyArtShow #Montana

I was going to take the day off from hiking, but the updated forecast calls for band after band of snow starting tomorrow. With it maybe being the last of green visible on the ground, I decided best to hit the trail after all. #ForestFriday #Montana

My passion is to understand the human mind; perception and belief. There have been innumerable posts ‘what will it take to change minds’. This wk a post with sim. pic, ‘I’ve lived in MT 15 yrs and never seen anything like this. What is going on with these?’ W.Larch put on this display EVERY YEAR

Getting outside has been my momentary reprieve from the craziness of this current world. The last long spell has been full of sogginess of all forms. Wearing my rain gear has left me as wet inside as outside. Thank goodness for the pearls nature delivers to keep me going.

It was a rainy/snowy weekend. As I was coming off the trail, the clouds started lifting and dividing, making for some magical views. #MountainMonday #Montana

Looking back over the past week, when I think of #bright, I recall sitting in my yard, all bundled up, watching the Northern Lights show and being mesmerized. #BlueSkyArtShow #Montana

The forest embracing the stream. And yes, those are flakes of snow salting the air. #ForestFriday #Montana

It’s starting up again in NW Montana. Loving the Aurora Borealis show

This view from a couple of weeks ago will have to do. I headed out to check snow depth after the latest storms. But…those also brought high winds. The access roads to TH are now littered with windfalls. A 5 mile hike turned to 15-20 miles is too far for these old legs. #Stunday #Montana #Wilderness

Timing is everything. When I saw the updated weather forecast yesterday, I rushed to finish reorganizing the garage so I could park inside. View of my yard this morning. #Montana

Lot of freezing fog this week. Natures crystals greet me on my walks. #Stunday #Montana #NaturePhotography

When the temp is in the low 20s (F) and the fog is freezing, the morning walk through the forest turns magical. #ForestFriday #Montana #NaturePhotography

Yeah, I hike slowly. Some hikes, I find myself stopping to take in things both big and small, every few steps. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. #Montana #NaturePhotography

Good news for grizzlies 🎉 A federal court just ruled that multiple environmental laws were broken in approving the Knotty Pine logging project in the Kootenai National Forest. The project authorized logging, burning, and new roads across more than 7,000 acres. Read on ➡️ bit.ly/4oKnTKN

Hiked above the fog and the sun rose. A selfie to celebrate making it.

Enjoying Terra firma for as long as I can. The snow line is marching lower and already microspikes in pack. Won’t be long until snowshoes added to the heft. #MountainMonday #Montana #NaturePhotography #MountainPhotography #LandscapePhotography

The start of another cold front moving in. The promise of arriving precipitation, with the snow line marching downward. #Montana #NaturePhotography #LandscapePhotography #SundayStunday

The turning of the Western Larch is always so bittersweet. Enthralling in their brilliance, it’s difficult to contain the joy. But always backed by that shadow of barrenness and darkness that is soon to dominate. #ForestFriday #Montana #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

Very small waterfall in a hidden paradise. Still trying to fit in as many mountain hikes before the trails become blanketed in snow. #WaterfallWednesday #Montana #NaturePhotography #Wilderness

A favorite activity in NW Montana this time of year is to ‘go larching’. The perfect calm of the lake worked as a mirror to double the impact of the Western Larch in their fall golden display. #Montana

I’m thinking I need to carry the breaking of a new day on an endless loop with me. A reminder that hope and resolve refresh when we need them most.
