Sun answered, and Chokecherry Blossom rejoiced:

  9. Very beautiful photographs. This post is a treat for me because my Mother's father, who I never met, worked in the copper mines in Butte for a long time.

  18. I love how you used the Native American legend style to tell the tale. The photos are great, too.
