Today is cool and gray. The night’s snow has melted. To slow down the spread of Covid-19 and protect our healthcare workers and those who are the most vulnerable, Montana residents along with many people around the world have been asked to shelter in place, move about only as necessary for essential services and maintain …
It has been awhile since I’ve posted. I took this photograph of Grey Wolf peak, part of Mission Range, on September 30 while out walking near my home in Northwest Montana. That storm brought about six inches of snow to our place, not much compared to Browning where they had four feet of snow. Today …
Some times the water and sky glide together in such a way that I slip into a space with them and rest for a while. Maybe it is the motion and the mingling – a reminder that we are always intertwining – that catches me. The movement of the water took the osier red of …
I regularly walk by Big Knife Creek, a small waterway on the Flathead Reservation of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes in Western Montana. I photograph this area most days of the year. Recently I went into a more overgrown part of the water shed. This part of the creek is darker but when the …
On the day I was shooting these images there was a small glow of sunlight concentrated in Big Knife Creek right next to a rock. The light stayed in a general area but was alive with the movement of the water. One of the colors of the light was a luminous chartreuse. The tiny spaces …
It is a strange small yet vast journey to stare at the water running in Big Knife Creek and try to capture sun lines–the tiny lines feel so big–views of the energy of the sun and water written out in wild brilliant script. I also seek images of circles within the water. Can you see …
Here in Western Montana, Big Knife Creek flows from mountains, through beaver ponds and forests. Most days I pause on my walk to see how the varying water levels shape the water flow over the rocks after it crosses an irrigation ditch before it continues to the Jocko River. In this series of photographs I …
I often take photographs of Big Knife Creek on my daily walks near my home in Western Montana. This day I was drawn to the blend of colors in glassy translucent and turbulent water.
A couple days ago it was over cast and rather dark in one of places where I like to take photographs of the water in Big Knife Creek near where I live in Northwest Montana. I have a small camera, Panasonic Lumix ZS100, that I love. It has some limitations with the attached lens (25-250mm) …
Today while walking over this water through way, I watched a Water Ouzel rest for a brief moment. The odd way the ouzel was splashing around made me wonder if it was young or if maybe it was trying to draw my attention away from a nest. The warm weather is unleashing the snow melt. …
