I was happy to be home in Butte, Montana. Big Sky Country where the deer and pronghorn antelope (shown here) roam:
I even got in a few last days of cross country skiing before switching over to hiking & trout fishing (next blog entry). The mornings are still cold enough to draw tiny, delicate, dendritic ice crystals from the snow as the sun rises in clear, blue sky:
That's an amazing shot of the ice crystal. I've never seen a whole heard of pronghorn, just an occasional one or two from the car. I've never gotton a photo.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteEveryone should enlarge the photos here! They are beautiful!
The antelope photo made me smile~ what great contrast with the crisp blue sky!
The ice crystals are incredible ~ It's one to just study and enjoy for a while.
"Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play;
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
{You may like this part of the ole song}
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all of the cities so bright."
Have a great weekend!
