Montana Country

Don't expect fashion; do expect character.

 ~ New York Times

rolling hills

big blue sky

soft white clouds drifting

 champagne air

blue birds singing and fluttering about

cattle grazing

 green pasture

 foothills of the Rockies

beautiful old red barns

a home

 a place of birth

 death

and

 keeper

of the farms
story

lodge pole pine, ponderosa, birch, aspen, tamarack

old rusty barbwire fencing

 keeping something in

 or maybe something out...

dirt roads

 leading home

 or

no where at all

the mountains

after all that is what Montana is named after

their majestic beauty

and of course

the wild life!

where folks have grit

love of wide open spaces

isolation

preservation

room to think

and dream

getting yesterdays news

slower pace

bad cell phone connection

 jeans & t-shirt

muddy boots

ample supply of coffee

an occational bear walking thru town

whipping winds

long winters

eternal optimism that someday the weather will get better

with

warmer sunnier days to come

I wouldn't trade it for the world!

I'm in love with Montana.

For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection.

But with Montana it is love.

 And it's difficult to analyze love when you're in it.

 - John Steinbeck
