Montana Mountain Storm


Driving into mountains in Montana presented a storm that looked worse than it turned out to be. Ominous dark clouds directly overhead, popped-up, developed and moved quickly on the way up a mountainside pass. Rain poured in huge drops, splattering across the windshield, which temporarily restricted visibility. Less than a minute later, the front had passed and the valley on the other side revealed a vast landscape covered with a layer of fresh rain.

White Daisy Flowers

Image
With smooth white petals layered in a circular pattern with a budding yellow center, the common Daisy flower can be identified in the wild with relative ease. Daisies symbolize a number of pleasant emotions for many and have a knack for cheering people up with an elegantly pure and simple design. Macro views of a wild Daisy above showcase the white ray flowers and yellow central disc flowers in detail with close-up views. A small bee and insect are present and provide a glimpse into their tiny world.

Blue Mitted Ragdoll Cat

Image
With a white blaze on the nose, insatiable curiosity, and a strategically impish attitude, a family Blue Mitted Ragdoll cat is sure to help de-stress at the end of a long day. A unique characteristic about Ragdoll cats, when compared to other breeds, is how they will lay down and stretch out flat on their back for attention or to relax.  The one pictured here loves yarn, feather toys, and sometimes playing with tennis balls. He lives in his own world for the most part, but when he seeks attention, a purring puff ball can be difficult to resist.

Trail Boardwalks

A fun element to hiking new trails beyond seeing nature up close is encountering stretches of wooden boardwalks leading across marshy land and over water or small valleys. Perhaps part of the interest in seeing trail boardwalks is the irony, that trees in the area were cleared and replaced with repetitive patterned pathways made of wood. While boardwalks might represent the piece of forest replaced by forest parts for human travel, they nevertheless lead explorers further into the trek by enticing hikers with unknowns ahead.
