Artist friends of ours arrived on Monday and we have been busy all week mixing work with play.  Wednesday we delivered our new art works to Creighton Block Gallery in Big Sky.

We took the long road back to Ennis through magnificent countryside.  After enjoying a nice picnic on the ground by the river we headed toward West Yellowstone.

That is when we spotted two young bears feeding along the roadside.  Neither of them seemed to mind that so many people stopped to admire them and take pictures.  We followed them along the road for quite a distance until they moved out of site.  It was quite an exciting event.

Ken and our friends burned up many camera batteries and pixels capturing sites too awesome to describe or record.  The weather was perfect.

The week has been part windy, part calm.  The past two days temperatures have not risen much above eighty. 

With most of their work out of the way our friends opted to stay another day to relax, fish and play.  I see new adventures ahead.

Things are Changing

I just realized how long it has been since I posted.  Things are changing rapidly this time of year not only in the weather but in our lives as well.


Annual fund raisers, banquets and art shows are among the events taking up any spare time we have outside of work.  Everywhere you look people are rushing to prepare for the annual forth of July festivities in Ennis and Virginia City.

The moisture is feeding the plants and wild flowers are blooming everywhere.  Ken stopped on our way to Belgrade last week to capture this sea of yellow.

Last night we witnessed the ending of a magnificent rainbow as we traveled home from an art show in Virginia City at Creighton Block Gallery.  It rained and hailed more than once yesterday and is raining as I type this post.


We did enjoy temperatures in the eighties a couple of days this week.  It felt so good to bask in some warm sunshine without sweaters and coats.
