"ROAD TRIP" YESTERDAY

CLICK on photo to ENLARGE

This photograph was taken

from the kitchen window

looking north across the lake toward

Glacier National Park

in the far, far, far distance.

(Ususally, it is totally WHITE.)

The "faded" mountain range

just to the left of the full green tree

under the line of white clouds

are the Rocky Mountains.

To the left of them you can see some

"snow-topped" mountains even more faded...

THAT is Glacier National Park.

*****

I could kick myself!!!

The weather and scenery were spectacular...

the Rocky mountains,

lovely green pine forests,

winding roads,

lake and island vistas,

fabulous rock out-croppings, 

cherry orchards,

Architectural Digest-type log homes,

white-tailed deer, and wildflowers...

What was I doing? 

Answer, driving the automobile!

This "road trip" was specifically taken to

drive up to my mother's new lake home

overlooking Flathead Lake

(2 hours north)

to measure

for the proposed new kitchen

and lower-level apartment.

This home is 3-stories,

about 6,600 square feet

with lake, mountain, glacier,

island and sky views

out of every window.

What a missed opportunity to share

BEAUTIFUL Montana.

I literally took it for granted.

I live in God's country,

surrounded by some

of the most spectacular scenery on earth

and I got caught up

in my mundane little life

and forgot

to document the beauty for YOU!

What a shame!!!
