Montana Outdoors
I’ve never been so aware of how many plants have stems and branches that turn red in fall. Even some of our wildflowers, that I would swear were green-stemmed spring, summer, and fall, turn out to turn red. I don’t think it’s climate change, or weird conditions. I think I’m just paying more attention, especially after having it pointed out to me a time or two. This is a beautiful example of the phenomenon.

Yes, that is interesting. There are several different plants providing the reds in the photo.

I’ve always wondered why the blue of the sky reflected in water is bluer than the sky itself.
This is a place where the dogwoods love to grow, by the looks!

I also noticed that ultra-saturated blue in the creek.

I see that color very often too. Not sure why it is though.
Yes, most of the red is from Dogwoods and most of the rest is from roses.

That photo was taken while returning from a morning’s hunt. I remember there used to be some big brook trout in that area of the river.

Our skies are almost always gray now on the coast and the blue skies of Montana are so refreshing!

It has gotten very gray here now too. The clear, sunny days will be rare now for 4 – 5 months.

You’re kidding me! I thought it was always clear skies in Montana except for when there were white-outs from blizzards.

We perpetuate that belief by not taking pictures on cloudy days.

During the in-between seasons for a short time frost can be seen on the stream-side brush, yet the water has not frozen over yet.

Seeing that scene was very lucky. There was heavy fog and some snow in the early morning and around noon the sun came out. We hit snow again on the way home.

That river is very photogenic and a fairly good trout stream as well, and there is nearly 50 miles of it giving access to its variety of terrain.

I’m not sure why that phenomenon occurs, but it does quite often. There is a place near where I live that if you climb to a mountainside about 600 feet above the river and look down at it on a sunny day, the water appears an emerald green, but from other angles and places it appears normal.
