Mount Baldy on a cold, clear day

We are having an influx of cold Arctic air which brings very cold but very clear air into western Montana.

Moonrise

This photo was requested by Mother Nature herself.

There is a magnetic induction sensor out on my drive which sounds a series of tones in my house informing me that someone has entered the drive. Tonight the tones sounded and when I looked outside to see who was there the driveway was empty; a false alarm. But then when I looked up into the sky the moonrise was obvious…

Winter in a forest

Today I was invited to hike with a friend through a section of forest land (640 acres) that is owned by a friend of hers and which he has logged, selectively and carefully, since the 1940’s. It is my opinion that he really knew what he was doing.

Finally, some snow!
