Okay, I just finished posting only a tiny sampling of pics from
the trip to Michigan.
I am scrambling to play Catch-up because I am starting to ramble out again with my camera, and the material will get back-logged even more.
This post will be only a sampling of another backroads
trip in the fall; this one to Montana.
But, first on the way to Montana comes Eastern Washington's Palouse:
What used to seem like stark landscape has become beautiful to me now,
especially with such fabulous clouds:
Getting to Kootenai Falls is a hike well worth the time:
And Glacier National Park was drenched in autumn colors:
I love Tamarack Trees!
There is something magical about a fir tree changing colors in the fall. But before that,
the green is so feathery and chartreuse:
We drove a little dirt road to where we could go no further, high and
higher above Yaak Pass. The Tameracks were stretching as if they had to be the tallest in the world:
And they were changing colors too:
This specimen was the first fully-changed one we saw:
Funny what catches my attention while hiking:
a puddle reflecting a Tamerack tree:
McDonald Falls:
This is part of a hillside left barren from a huge forest fire.
It is tragic to see, but I loved making the stark monochromatic photo:
"Going to the Sun" Highway was closed for the winter, so we drove clear around
Glacier Park to enter the east side at Many Glacier Lake:
Picnic place where we experienced hail:
At the end of the day, returning from a long hike near dusk, I had
given up the thing at the top of my Bucket List for yet another year: to see a moose up close and personal without any moose paparazzi diminishing the personal experience.
Well, he showed up to oblige me; spotted first by our daughter. I stalked him for many minutes! Alone!

So many wonderful vistas and views, textures and treasures. Love all of them but you know I drool over the waterfalls,and am thrilled at the moose (at last!) The barn is fabulous--I particularly like the juxtaposition in color tone and temperature in that shot. Don't you want to know the stories it could tell?
It wouldn't let me edit the previous comment so I had to delete it. I wrote -you kept that moose picture secret when you originally shared them after our adventure. (It put loose instead of moose, hence the deletion) that is a fabulous one!!!!
A moose? A moose! At last, so glad for you! And he is so beautifully framed. The colors in these pictures are so intense that they look painted. So gorgeous!
