Window Seat Jan 6, 2007

Finally loaded these to flickr... my very first good aerial photos from a regular commercial flight on a day of perfect light and visibility conditions, with just a light enough snow to highlight without obscuring. http://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/sets/72157624717852993/with/4942669994/ Sign in to see full entry.

Montana Skies

It has taken long enough to get these posted! I didn't take a lot of photos on my drive through north west Montana in July, but several of these, drove past, got a mile or so on down the road, then turned around and went back for them. Sometimes you just know you will kick yourself forever, for not... Sign in to see full entry.

Moose Valley

We drove through the Kootenai Wildlife Reserve yesterday, and though I didn't get the clearest best artful shots of the moose and other critters, I did get some reasonable snapshots for memory and sharing purposes. I do love that 24x zoom! The link is the same as on the previous post. Sign in to see full entry.

Montana storm

http://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/ A few days ago Davy and I headed north from Colorado Springs on I-25, past Denver and on up through Wyoming. We saw a grand distant storm between the road and the Rockies, falling over Boulder, maybe, and then just over the border into Wyoming, saw two... Sign in to see full entry.

Clouds on the horizon

http://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/sets/72157624321982339/ Colorado Springs and summer storms... Yes, lovely! I do like a good thunderstorm, and the clouds are natural works of art! Sign in to see full entry.

Wyoming's painted prairies...

and a cluster of great granite boulders where the Oregon Trail emmigrants paused and probably fought off the ancestors to the hordes of mosquitos we had dive-bombing us in squadrons, in the quiet afternoon air. Some years ago when I was here, there were no such pests as the wind was high and... Sign in to see full entry.

Summer days in this oldest and most popular of US National Parks are a mob scene. We did not dawdle, and only stopped a couple of times for photos. The glorious and dramatic pools and mudpits will wait for a quieter time. We did take a short loop to see some rapids in a lava-rock canyon called The... Sign in to see full entry.

Onward to Earthquake Lake

Then we drove on across the Idaho Panhandle into Montana along I-90 where I was focused on driving, and so did not take photos until the next day when we drove from Butte down to the West Gate into Yellowstone National Park. On that stretch of road we did stop for shots of the Earthquake Lake, the... Sign in to see full entry.
