This cheeky Pacific Gull stayed around the table where the fishermen were cleaning their catch, it paid off, he scored the rest of this Flathead!
Can't tell ya how many times me and girls laid out sunning on this this dock! A very nice swimming spot also!! I actually am just amazed that this dock is still here...the same original one! LOL I love this area and town...it's really bittersweet as I come here...miss it terribly but glad I'm not here! lol...but as I view this..I miss it so much!!! lol :) Have a nice week ahead everyone! :) Large view makes me feel like I'm there! ♥
This lake lies along the east shoreline. Beautiful shoreline filled with Flathead Sweet Cherries and apple orchards. About 33 miles of beautiful cherries and apples orchards!!!!! 🍒When I was in high school, I used work Summers in the cherries....what a monotonous job!!!
Sunset on the Flathead River in Columbia Falls, Montana. I walked over to the little park by our Home Away rental to check it out and was greeted with this view by the river as the clouds broke behind me allowing this shaft of light to come streaming though and light up the trees on the other side of the river.
Sam's going to be doing a remodel out here starting next month. So it looks like you'll be getting to see some nice of the lake and area.
We got a light, temporary blizzard last night!!! Hope it stops some day!!! lol :) Flathead is a huge lake and it's about frozen over!!!! Blows my mind!
Located in the northwest corner of the state of Montana, 7 miles (11 km) south of Kalispell, it is approximately 30 miles (48 km) long and 16 miles (26 km) wide, covering 197 square miles (510 km2). It is a similar size as Minnesota's Mille Lacs Lake, but smaller than Red Lake. It is about half the area of San Francisco Bay (main bay). It is larger in surface area than Lake Tahoe, but it is much smaller in volume due to Tahoe's depth. Flathead Lake has a maximum depth of 370.7 ft (113.0 m), and an average of 164.7 ft (50.2 m). This makes Flathead Lake deeper than the average depths of the Yellow Sea or the Persian Gulf. Flathead Lake is in a scenic part of Montana, 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Glacier National Park and is flanked by two scenic highways, which wind along its curving shoreline. On the west side is U.S. Route 93, and on the east, is Route 35.
This view of the Flathead River and valley was taken from along Red Sleep Mountain Drive through the Bison Range. I should note that many waterways in Montana are unusually full following an unusually wet spring and rapid snow melt from the mountains. In this photo it's evident that there is standing water in the area adjacent to the river, perhaps as a result of overflow, and/or the inability of low-lying soil to absorb excess water, likely a short-term issue as precipitation levels in the region have returned to seasonal norms.
The Bison Range, nee the National Bison Range. In 1908, the federal government carved 18,766 acres out of the Flathead Indian reservation for a very small bison conservation herd. Following the ensuing decades of negotiation, contracts signed and broken, purchases and sales, agreements and betrayals, and numerous legal and legislative actions, in late 2020, management of the range became a fruitful partnership between the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Confederated Kootenai and Salish Tribes (CKST) on whose land the range resides.
The range is meticulously managed to assure quality habitat for the 300-500 head of bison, plus elk, deer, pronghorns, bighorns, bears, many other small mammals, and birds, wildflowers and other native vegetation, and to maintain healthy waterways, including Mission Creek. Two loop roads and a lovely visitor center are open for public visitation for a modest fee.
This is the Hyw going to the entrance of Glacier Park. One of these days we might get back over here...probably later in the Fall when the colors are nice!!! Sam's sister lives over here so it's a nice place to stop before going to the park! Have a nice week everyone! :)
The Flathead River is right behind Kerr Dam. Let me tell you there is a lot of water over this way!!!!! Flathead Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi in the lower 48 states, with over 200 square miles of water and 185 miles of shoreline.
Boy if you want to see some glorious eagle activity....this is the area to go. We're about due for a trip over there....and it's about the perfect time too!!! :)

Seen from Apgar Village campground area... 2 miles inside of Glacier National Park's west entrance. - Montana
This is a scene of Flathead Lake when you're driving on Hwy 93 through Polson, MT. Spent 30 years of my life here....everytime I go back it's like I've never left...I do miss it greatly!!! The water is real low like this every Winter. Have a nice weekend all....I'm going to go photo shooting!!!! Yay! :) Love my weekends!!
This ’32 Ford roadster is probably one of the most classic and iconic “old school” Hot Rod around.
Recently people has discovered again the old school Hot Rods with their smooth design, classic colors and without frills.
Original and vintage Hot Rods are considered today as a treasure to conserve and preserve indeed they are sought after and very expensive.
I'm fascinated by classic Rods and for this I built this Ford ’32 Roadster with the body of a Ford Model B, released by the American manufacturer from 1932 to 1934, painted in total black.
The Roadster fits the V8 flathead with three carburettors and wheels are "oversized" respect to the original ones that were narrower (I didn’t find LEGO wheels that fitted well, at least to me).
I used few chromed parts that I think look great on the car. I especially like the big rims with the chromed dish 4 x 4 inverted (Radar). The engine is made of light grey bricks with a touch of chrome.
I like to imagine this Roadster racing at Bonneville Speedway in the fifties. Racing number: 74, of course!
In the picture below you can see The Roadster in my garage, the engine has been overhauled and ready to be placed into the car.

A short Montana Rail Link Night Gas Local slithers its way along the Flathead River at Perma, Montana, on MRL's 10th Subdivision, on a gorgeous Spring evening. Up front is MRL SD70ACe no. 4312, and an SD40-2XR, both in the newest Red Ball paint.
