leaving Montana

after several days it was time to head home



if you have never been to montana you are missing some real beauty





loved this little bee and flower



coming in for a landing




montana where one moment it is bright and sunny

to this in a moment



anaconda the reason our family lives in the pacific northwest


one of the tallest smoke stacks in the us can be seen for miles
