One fine day

Everything that is Montana in the Spring is in this photo: green grass and trees, blue sky, white clouds…dark clouds, snow rapidly retreating from the mountain tops.

The air is as clear and clean as it looks. A breeze comes up off and on and the dark clouds skirt the mountain tops but at noon, when Karl and I walked it felt like the late Spring day that it was.

A day a little warm in the sun for a black dog who isn’t quite rid of his winter undercoat. He’s waiting for me in a spot of shade.

Meanwhile, back at the house…

Mr. Bob gets a somewhat slower start to his Monday.

One fine day all around :)!

Alpenglow on the road

We took the “Looking for Alpenglow” show on the road last evening. The start was visible on the mountain tops that we see through the trees but neighbors are in residence making the usual loop off limits.

Temperatures stayed very cold and skies very clear all day. As the sun set behind Blacktail Mountain, west of the valley, the glow started low.

The telltale pink hit some low clouds.

Some of the pink hit the mountain tops.

And the light lit the road home.
