2. It's in Montana, the last best place.
Glacier National Park

You can find Alpine Lupine starting to blossom on the trail
leading to Running Eagle Falls.

Have you always lived there?

5. I haven't lived there since 1967. I was a junior in high school when my parents
sold their farms and moved us all to Arizona.

I hope you do have the chance to visit Montana.

It really is the last best place.

:thumbsup:

18. How sweet
I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound

Hello hello hello hello
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
That's all there is
And the leaves that are green turn to brown


I'm searching for a tune

21. Beautiful photos,Ptah!

I had the pleasure of visiting Montana
once, back in 1978,

It is one of the most beautiful places
I've seen. The scenery is spectacular.

Thanks so much for sharing these.

24. I love Glacier park.
But my absolute favorite locale in MT is the Bob Marshall wilderness. Despite having the largest concentration of Grizzlies outside of Alaska, places within like Strawberry Meadow are absolutely gorgeous.

25. One of my uncles used to do pack trips in to the Bob Marshall wilderness.
I can't imagine a more beautiful spot on this globe.

33. I really miss that area--I got out west last week to Ouray, CO
But I really wanted to go back to MT. Unfortunately my travel companion was terrified of bears. :P

29. I'm sorry I scrolled too fast.

If you go slow, you might see that there are two streams
feeding the pool.
I tried to show the different phases that might trick the casual observer.

Thanks for the howdy, SPK
