Munson Creek

Munson Creek waiting for winter

The mountains are in the Coeur d’Alene Mountain range, across the Clark Fork River from Munson Creek which flows out of the Cabinet Mountains.

The white color on the overhanging branches is not frost, but lichens which seem to be doing well from the moisture and unseasonally warm weather.

A cloudy winter’s day along the river.

Sometimes Nature uses clouds to show us what She wants us to see.

This morning, after a week of temperature inversion in Montana’s western valleys, it began to leave and made a beautiful exit.
