Skywatch Friday: More Snowy Skies, a Visit to an Old Friend's Grave

Snow, wind, and below average temperatures continue to punish my little mining city:

In between storms, we did get out in the hills to visit RolyTheDog's grave. We buried our old friend on the high prairie with a great view to the mountain peaks of the Pintler Wilderness just west of Butte, Montana:

Then, another snowstorm came:

Luckily, the snow doesn't last more than a day or so this time of year.

    What a beautiful place to have buried him! Nothing like variety. I remember one May in Montana when I was driving to Salt Lake City and ended up driving through a blizzard! Won't forget that trip! Hope you have a great weekend!

    Grasses, stones, post make beautiful photos illustrating desolation. I find it very appealing. :)

    We have a tiny pet graveyard out back. The previous owners started it with two little dog graves complete with little engraved headstones.

    I think I live in the wrong city. I would love to have a big snowstorm!

    Beautiful shots. It's funny, my SWF post was also about snow.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the comment you left about the John Deere tractor. Oh, how I wish he would help when he gets to that age.

    Love the photo with the clouds by the way. I don't miss the snow though, so you can keep that there for now :-)

    Have a great weekend!

    I think that storm arrived here last night. Branches down all over the yard. And very cold.

    I remember the photo of RTD kissing a fish. I'm so glad he has such a pleasant view from his resting place.
    Weather this time of year is hard to predict, but that keeps things interesting.
