A very attractive flower display in a Main Street window in Bigfork, Montana stopped me in my tracks, with credit to the unknown arranger at a Sotheby's Real Estate office. Nice job,
indeed! And thanks for the blast of color as well. Very refreshing.
square spaghetti, garlic, oil, chilli and coriander (every now and then a plate of pasta is needed to brighten up the day)
A brief trip to Wild Horse Island ended our summer of 2019 trip to Northwest Montana. The clouds on the horizon turned black and purple, and just after taking this photo, we had to rush off the island to race just ahead of some serious thunder and lightening. This shot of one of the island's namesakes made the chaos worthwhile.
This and the covered wagon were quite the find along the highway near Bigfork, Montana. They even have Christmas lights on it! LOL..come on folks..take the lights off til Christmas!! I bet both the covered wagon and this one look very nice with lights on! :)
Have a great Monday!!
for scarlet sunday.
I had great difficulty doing the selective colouring for this in picasa3 as I kept getting a blue circle round the man, and tried out so many textures I can't remember which one I used (maybe darkwood67 fields converted to b&w). So I'm not to happy with the scarlet but don't want to spend any more time on it.

Okay, so not really, but that's what it looks like. I saw a picture like this a while ago and always wanted to replicate it. I've tried a few times, but this is the first time that I've actually been semi-satisfied with the result.

The storm that swept across the center of the United States on October 26 and October 27, 2010, was memorable to those who experienced it because of its strong winds, rain, hail, and widespread tornadoes. Meteorologists get excited about the storm because it set a record for the lowest pressure (not associated with a hurricane) measured over land in the continental United States. At 5:13 p.m. CDT, the weather station in Bigfork, Minnesota recorded 955.2 millibars (28.21 inches of pressure). Pressure is one indicator of a storm’s strength, and this measurement corresponds to the pressure seen in a Category 3 hurricane.
This image, taken by the GOES satellite on October 26, shows the storm system circling around the area of extreme low pressure. Such extratropical cyclones form over the United States in the spring and fall, when the temperature difference from north to south is large. Warm, high-pressure air rushes toward the cooler, low-pressure air in the north. Because the Earth is rotating, the air moving in ends up circling the area of low pressure, creating the cyclone shown in the image. The intensity of the storm is determined by the pressure difference between the center and the outer edges. Extreme low pressure in the center of the storm, therefore, is an indicator that the storm was very intense.
The animation shows the storm developing starting late on October 25 and running through October 27. The cyclone formed very quickly on October 26, taking a distinctive comma shape as the day went on. The storm developed so quickly, in fact, that it is classified as a bomb, an extremely fast developing storm (dropping at least one millibar of pressure per hour for 24 hours), more common over water than land.
The storm was also huge. Though the area of low pressure is centered over the Upper Midwest, the storm reached from the Gulf of Mexico into Canada, and from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean.
Extratropical cyclones bring an array of unsettled weather, including strong wind, rain, hail, and tornadoes, and this cyclone brought all of that. On October 26–27, winds gusted up to 78 miles per hour in Michigan, with high winds throughout the Midwest. The National Weather Service reported 61 tornadoes over the two days. Heavy snow also fell in the north.

1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS in infrared / ir. This was photographed at a car show late 2012 in Bigfork MT.
This outtake is from a series of shots that I took over the Thanksgiving weekend in the Northern
Montana lakes region. This particular shot is of Flathead Lake, which is the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, between Bigfork and Polson. It was captured about 9:30 in the morning and
takes advantage of a beautifully dramatic sky.
Recently down on the lake The recent cold has made a lot of interesting ice on the shore. Of course, this was too good to pass up without some photos. The highlights and contrasts were very cool. Definitely worth the effort.

We came across this place by Bigfork...was very scenic..there is an old covered wagon I got an image of also! There is a pond that seems to be overflowing...everywhere we stopped there seemed to be creeks and water overflowing their banks.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
This item I bought from a monastery.
Α traditional fork, made of wood.
Its use is for cooking spaghetti.
I use it to cook very thick pasta, those with the hole in the middle.
Not the easiest of photos to explain but I'll try. I've had this idea in my mind for awhile but it had never really materialized into anything. When I finally went out I was lucky enough to come upon the river when the ice layers were breaking.
It was pretty eerie since it would be dead calm and then the cracking and breaking of ice would rattle up and down the river banks. The layers of ice that I found most interesting were the ones that were suspended above the river (the water level dropped 6 inches in the first few minutes i was there, strange).
I was set on getting the lemon suspended in the air while I broke the ice around it. Not as easy as it might sound. Epecially when trying to dial in the exposure and getting the exact moment captured. Oh, and the temperature outside was about 3 degrees and I had forgotten to bring gloves.... so I had no feeling in my fingers the enture time. Here's the first of several successful attempts.

Happy fence Friday, everyone.
A beautiful meadow in the Swan River Valley south of Bigfork. The mountain backdrop is the Swan Range. I took this photo during a vacation in western Montana in September, 2004.

Deuteronomy 8:3 - He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
Going through some old photos... Taken last May at the White Water Festival, Big Fork, Montana....... Could alternately be titled: "Up S*** Creek, with a Paddle" , but I opted for the deeper, more thoughtful one... =-)

Never a shortage of rivers and lakes here in Montana. This is a scene along Swan River near Bigfork, MT. about 2 hours from Missoula. Feeling alittle better today but still fighting a very sore jaw...pain medicine helps pain but makes me so wiped out...this too shall pass...soon I hope!! :) Large is worth the click.
I figured after last week's photo, I needed some time in one of my happy places. More animals than people. Shhhhh.....
I think it would be awesome to have a home along a river...but no way would I ever get one...I'd be too worried about flooding!! Oh man I'm wore out...one more day and 3 off...yay! :) Sam gets home tonight...he has been working a job at Bigfork for a month...think it is done this week! Yay again!! lol
A beautiful meadow in Montana's Flathead Valley at Bigfork, near the north shore of Flathead Lake. The lake can be glimpsed in the distance. I took this photo during a vacation in western Montana in September, 2004.

The fieldstone faced municipal hall was built in 1936 with Works Progress Administration (WPA) funds. The use of uncut local fieldstones in the construction of the building highlights the philosophy of using local materials and workers on WPA projects. The Bigfork Village Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
