Skywatch Friday: Low Mountain Skies

Ah, life in the Montana mountains. One day, the sky is endlessly deep, and so blue it makes you ache:

The next day the sky moves low, and the rain (or snow, if you're just a few hundred feet above Butte) is so cold it makes you ache:

Rain or shine, there are still those moments in the day when the beauty of it all takes your breath away:

    Such beautiful Montana skies - all so different, but equally as beautiful. Have a great weekend :)

    I keep meaning to pick some dandelion greens, but I'd have to make them without bacon.

    Big sky country indeed. I really like those penstemon... and that cast iron frying pan. What Montana memories I can see in the bottom of mine. "That black dirty ugly old thing" according to Mrs. T. How misguided.

    I drove through Montana many years ago and remember thinking, my god, the sky is HUGE - no wonder it is called Big Sky country!

    Beautiful scenes. Regarding your question on my post today. Darling Harbour is named after Lieutenant-General Ralph Darling, who was Governor of our state of New South Wales from 1825 to 1831. I've never heard of Ding Darling before.
