From fast to slow and fast again the river moves along.
Saying hello to rocks and trees and singing a rivers song.
On a quiet day the river fell yet flowed ever on.

en garde
Two young bucks, equally matched, practice their game on a late fall afternoon.
While not quite ready to face off with the big bull elk these guys will have their day.
A Ravens Beard
Face to face with the Ravens Beard and a tidy well kept beard to boot.
Fall Bighorn
Hopefully this fall foliage did the trick and helped this little Bighorn Sheep put on a few pounds for the winter ahead. Near Gardiner, MT.
Solo
White Faced Ibis roosting on a cool cloudy morning.
October Moon
A quick look back to the October moon. Leaves still gold on the cottonwoods as the moon lights up the mountain sky.
Have a great weekend and enjoy some time outside.
Pleasant Pheasant
Hey, who’s that poking his head up out from behind a shrubby berm along the road. None other than our old friend the Pheasant. Just look at that all that color packed into a single bird.
We only got a quick look as he took off like a road runner across a snow covered road and into the brush on the other side but a look that will be remembered.
…yes, the earth breathes
Watching the earth breath in and out reminds me that this system is alive.
Alive in a way we might not fully understand as the pieces and connections are known yet the interactions a complex.
We have the knowledge yet lack the understanding or so it seems.
How to make it understood is a question we seem to struggle with. Perhaps seeing and observing can help in some way soften the mind to consider complex ideas and then understanding will follow. Time spent just looking is thus time well spent.

Along Blacktail Creek
Up and down, over and around each layer of wonderful hill.
Curves blend to form a single landscape yet each remains it’s own.
Bunn
A favorite winter companion who always brings a smile to the morning is a Mountain Cottontail we have affectionately named Bunn. While Bunn is invariably more than one we have settled on calling them all Bunn. Hey, it just is fun to say. With a cup a coffee in hand we scout the windows each morning to say hello to our crepuscular friend.
