We traveled to Gypsy Basin, along the Rocky Mountain Front, near Dupuyer, Montana, and saw this horse along the way. The air was crisp and clear, it was late in the day, and the light was wonderful. / —-—-—-—- / Nikon D300, 70-300 mm lens / 10/09 / Thank you! Featured in Color and LIght 10/09 / Thank you!

HDR enhanced photograph taken in Glacier National Park in July 2009.
Two summers ago ther were more elk along the roads than tourists. This year, we only saw some cows across the river. Is it the wolves? / I had to shoot between other photographers and tripods, staying behind them so I didn’t mess up their shots. You have to wonder what the elk think of all the clicking. Tourists can be so stupid, taking their young’ns too close to wildlife. hand-held, squatting down on bad knees, filters, diffused
Red Cedars in Glacier National Park near the east end of Lake MacDonald along a raised handicapped-accessible boardwalk trail known as Trail of the Cedars. The area was saved from several forest fires due to the proximity of Avalanche Brook and the general wetness of the area on the western flanks of the park’s high peaks.

Found in our neighborhood. It was a nice change from tree silhouettes. Montana seems to have a lot of these little windmills, as well as the bigger ones for harvesting electricity. The electric co-ops buy your extra electricity. 09/17/09 – Featured in the SILHOUETTES Group. 11/02/09 – Featured in the MONTANA Group.
Just as we drove into Yellowstone National Park it started to snow. The scenery was stunning. I hope to return one day to take some more photographs here

Tiger photographed at Zoo Montana, Billings, Montana, USA. Canon DSLR,70-300mm lens, F5.6@1/125, ISO100. I think this guy was looking at some sparrows that were flying in and out of his environment. He sure got excited and his instincts took over. FEATURED in: / 1. The World As We See It Group – 11/2/09

The Spanish Peaks in the background, sit beyond the pasture, the creek and an old building along the public access road. See the cattle/buffalo trails down the hill to the creek. This is part of the historical Flying D Ranch. / Gallatin County, Montana
ACEO card, oil painting on canvas, of a cute goat I noticed at the Montana State Fair in Great Falls, Montana. She was part of the petting zoo and she was an excellent beggar!
Gallatin County, Montana I’d be afraid to enter, the floor is full of gaps. It has some very interesting rocks in the foundation and a view of the sky through the roof.
Glacier National Park, Montana
Best Viewed Large: Rocky Mountains / Going up the Gallatin Valley from Bozeman to Big Sky, there’s a turn-off called Spanish Creek. You pass through the Flying D Ranch on public access roads to the end. It’s the beginning of trails for horseback, walking or climbing. Spanish Creek flows into the Gallatin River.
