“New” greens have such variety, and vibrancy. You even have lime-popsicle-green in this one! (I once had a Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver in that exact shade of green. When it went in the water, I grieved for months. Your plants belong in the water. That screwdriver didn’t.)

The water level is a little high from snow melt in the Glacier Park area. Unfortunately though, not as high as in a normal year.
The country is still rejoicing about spring, but it’s getting very dry already. We are hoping for some good rains to come along!

This almost looks like the garden of Eden ( not that I’ve ever been there) but it’s all very peaceful in this photo I could look at it for hours!

This is on the Flathead Indian Reservation. It’s one of the places I like to hike especially during winter when the access to higher country is blocked by snow. THere is a lot of wildlife on the Res. too.

Montana is beautiful. Your snow-covered mountain winters and your vibrant green summers filled with wildflowers really appeal to me. Such glorious country.

I think it is too, Jane. It’s a wonderful place for those of us who really love the outdoors and the wild places. I’ll be headed into another wild area in the morning. Summer is wonderful up here!

I had just been on a search for Bitterroots (which I didn’t find) and had my 60mm macro lens on the camera, so that’s what I used. It works pretty well as just a regular 60mm lens. Wish I had the zoom though. I did track him down about a half mile away and got a slightly fuzzy photo at a closer range that I will post probably tomorrow. You have sharp eyes for the critters!

What a lovely scenery! Would you get any fish in this river?

Yes, there is a pretty good variety of fish there, from huge Northern Pike to bass and some fairly good sized trout.

That bear lives in a very beautiful spot! I wonder what the yellow is on top of his small hill.

THe mass of yellow on the top of the rock is lichen, possibly Pleopsidium flavum or Pleopsidium chlorophanum.

There are huge amounts of that lichen on the big rocks all over this area. I will post some photos later of the cliffs below the Big Hole loohout and you can see large patches of it there too.

The river through that area is very scenic. A Reservation conservation license is required to hike through there, but I buy one every year. It also gives me access to the rest of the reservation (1.313 million acres).

Now I live so close to a river with a few (rather tame) rapids, I’m getting to love the riverside walks also. Just wish the wilder, more natural stretches were longer.

I’m overjoyed to see what I am still able to see and to go where I can still go, but very sad to see the direction that the west seems to be going regarding wild places and wilderness. We are probably the last generation that will be able to see all that we see now. So much damage is being done.

I think our country needs to go through a complete culture change and start addressing the important things, but greed and selfishness will probably not let that happen.
