Montana has many streams named Rock Creek, but this particular one is a blue ribbon trout stream flowing out of the Sapphire Mountains in Granite County to merge with the Clark Fork River approximately 30 miles east of Missoula. This bridge is about 10 miles upstream from Interstate 90. Photo was taken on August 23, 2008, about 5 pm, using a Nikon D80 fitted with a Sigma 18-50 tele/zoom lens set at 26 mm. ISO 200, f /4.2, 1/45 second. Find the fisherman

The horse barn, in use since the early 1900’s My 90 yr old uncle says it was always there. It was built with railroad ties, cedar and cottonwood logs and patched periodically. Eastern Montana

This seemed a vast canyon and little mention of it. It is in Bighorn NP and quite spectacular – so vast I took about 15 photos of different angles – this one gives you an idea of the river winding its way through the colourful very steep sided rock formation. Bighorn sheep and wild horses were seen en route. Best viewed large
When I am out riding, I look forward to evenings in camp. I love pouring a cup of good, black coffee (sometimes with embellishment!) and sittin’ down to reflect on the day, and on days gone by. I enjoy this time. It is quiet. It gives me time to get myself right with the world, before I have to start another day of riding and roping, and dispatching varnmints along the way. I hope you take a moment to reflect on what is important in your life.
Taken on an April 4 outing, and my first lesson in photography from my son, Shaun. He took some beautiful panorama shots, which will be uploaded to his gallery soon. You can all see why I’ve been complaining about snow in the Spring here. These are part of the Rocky Mountains, at the edge of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and a few miles south of Glacier National Park. The river is the main branch of the Flathead, which flows out of the Park. 11/15/09 – Featured in the MONTANA Group.
Trying with this image/processing to capture the enduring symbolic value of this uniquely American creature. A major factor in pre-invasion American Indian culture, their slaughter by and through the westward migration signaled the demise of plains Indian tribes. Millions dwindled to near extinction numbers before places like Yellowstone National Park provided safety and refuge and the opportunity to rebound. In a 30 mile drive inside the park yesterday we saw several hundred of these magnificent animals. Herds are now so large in Yellowstone that they regularly overflow into neighboring states. In Montana those that spillover are often and perhaps ironically captured and turned over to the Tribes. Canon EOS-1D, Mark II, Canon 300 f/4 L IS, 1.4 extender, 1/100@ f/5.6 ISO 200 – handheld. Processed in Lightroom 2.2.
Under the shadow of the Tobacco Root’s Hollow Top Mountain sits the remains of Twenty Stamp Mill. These walls are all that remain of a mining mill that helped put Pony, Montana on the map back in the late 1800s.

Near the red barn and the small stream these three horses were knee deep in snow. As soon as we stopped, they moved toward us. We couldn’t get to them for an apple and I was afraid if I threw one, it would disappear in the snow. They were beautiful and friendly. / Gallatin County, Montana
