Skywatch Friday: Raven Calls the Storm
Raven is a powerful force in the Northern Rocky Mountains around Butte, Montana. When I heard Raven calling, I climbed the hill out back to see what all the fuss was about. Raven was hungry and not yet ready to let go of Winter-That-Kills. Raven called, "Slippery highways, road kill! Snow covered range, starvation! Bring it on!" In a bright blue sky, Raven quorked & pleaded:
Out to the West, Storm Cloud too heard Raven's call and rolled up the valley to see what all the fuss was about:
In answer to Raven's cries, Storm Cloud dumped snow on the land, and Raven chortled:
The next morning, MollyTheDog (her father was a Raven who left her a fine, black coat) said, "Let's go for a ski!":

Fantastic blue. We must have been snapping photos at the same time... I really like the dog up to its shoulders in snow.
Beautiful skies!
A rut's as good a place as any to lie down! Obviously made for that purpose!
Hi!
Wow... that is some blue sky!
and that is quite a storm front!
and Molly is quite a fine dog!
I'm taking some long looks at my little, little juncos who will be gone to cooler places soon... One of the little blessings of winter~
Have a wonderful weekend!

That's funny - I just posted about our 80-degree day!
Amazing shots! Winter is having a hard time letting go here too...
What fun. We didn't get hardly any snow this winter. I really missed it, except for the driving part. - Margy
Great post. Love the way you captured the raven in the corner and I never met a dor that didn't like to frolic in the snow.
To expand on your comment, private land can be a good thing as long as the owners are good stewards. From what I saw I would give them a B+.
