Day 196: Guest Photographer Blogger Toots!

Sunday, July 15, 2012

Waterfalls.  Just about all she wanted to see, beyond the playground! Lots of waterfalls on the west side. Really close to the car, too. Throw in the odd mountain goat to block traffic (okay, it was the idiots in cars that blocked the traffic, the goat was off the road!). Yup, the waterfalls were close […]

Day 195: Guest Photographer Blogger Toots!

Sunday, July 15, 2012

Toots went with us to my nephew’s wedding last weekend, and she brought her camera! She really wanted to see cows. Then it was on to Glacier National Park. She wanted to know where the playground was. We tried to explain it wasn’t that kind of a park. Snow seemed to be a good distraction. […]

Day 192: The Lee Metcalfe National Wildlife Refuge pt1

Thursday, July 12, 2012

Leslee ran over to Hamilton with me for some work I had to do today.  We swung through the Lee Metcalfe National Wildlife Refuge on the way back up to Missoula.  It was very hot (88+) and there were almost no birds around…other than this one! (1/3000s f/6.7 ISO500 400mm -1/2 stop) A Turkey Vulture. […]

Day 191: Toots in the Middle!

Tuesday, July 10, 2012

We had a few stops along the way in Glacier… Our resident rockstar had to look around. This included a stop at Apgar on Lake McDonald. The rock collection still resides in my vest. Eventually we had to move on… …to ice cream! Later that evening we had a turn around Woodland Park in Kalispell. […]

Day 190

Monday, July 9, 2012

We took a little trip up to the Flathead this weekend, to attend my nephew’s wedding.  The trip over Logan Pass (Glacier National Park) was a mere excuse… Toots went with us, and wanted to see waterfalls. She wanted to see the playground, too, but we might have gotten through to her this wasn’t that […]

Wednesday, July 4, 2012

After a good barbecue and nice afternoon, it was time for a few fireworks and a bike ride! “He told me he’d take me for a spin, but he doesn’t realize it is still on the center stand…” (1/60s f/5.0 ISO100 28mm) “He can’t reach the brake or the shift lever either.  I don’t think […]
