Montana Adventure

We drive through Montana every year as we travel to visit my son and family.
I really love it.
I always want to stop, but there is never time.
So, we made time.
We stayed for a couple of days and it was everything I knew it would be.


The wild flowers were beautiful.
This is Indian Paintbrush.



I'm not sure why, but every little town in Montana has a little white church.


We stayed in this old Forest Ranger cabin.  
It was a sweet little place. 
It has been well maintained and has the cutest antique furnishings.
It also had a couple of travel journals.
They read like a novel.
They had a big effect on me.
I was touched by the words of these people I didn't know,
but had shared a little bit of their journey.
I added a few words of my own.


We went on a walk.
Okay, It was more like a hike.
In my world, a hike is an up-hill walk.


We saw some trees.
I love trees.


If you go up high enough,
you see......
More mountains.

Morning Walks

We have been on Vacation.
Although we spend a good portion of our time in California with family,
sometimes, we just act like tourist and enjoy the beauty of the earth.

Here are my 3 morning walks.

Walk #1


It was a beautiful day


and the flowers were amazing.



The succulents were lovely.


These flowers were sooo big.



The colors were vibrant.



And what is the morning walk without a sand dollar?


Walk #2



The sand was pretty cool.


This beach has tide pools.





Walk #3






I have been to a few Redwood groves and I am always in awe.
These trees have survived earthquakes, fire and 1000's of visitors
and yet they continue to amaze.

I am grateful we took the time to take a walk or two.
