Almost Speechless Sunday - Halloween Morning in Red Lodge, Montana - 10/31/10 11:50 AM
Almost Speechless Sunday - Halloween Morning in Red Lodge, Montana

Some snow high up on the mountains (luckily none in town so the kids will be able to move around easily to collect candy) 
 
A touch of bloody red in the sky ...

... along with the familiar orange and black colors and sunshine to share with you on this Halloween morning.

A panoramic view of the morning sky on Halloween day in Red Lodge, Montana. 

May everyone (young and old young at heart) have a very happy Halloween!    :)

The Mesmerizing Colors of the Sky at Night in Columbus, Montana! - 10/17/10 12:28 PM
The Mesmerizing Colors of the Sky at Night in Columbus, Montana!
As I ended taking photos of the fall colors late in the day in Columbus, Montana, a few days ago, I did not get as many photos of the leaves.  But, as luck would have it, I ended up taking more photos of the sky at night because there were plenty of vivid colors in the sky!
I will let you be the judge.  After all, it is Speechless Sunday today!  :)
  
 


And, yes, the series of the fall colors will continue later today with the fall colors … (37 comments)

Laughter is an Instant Vacation - 10/15/10 11:48 AM
Geri Wehri in Covington, WA recently made the following post which I am reblogging because laughter is meant to be shared.

The Mesmerizing Colors of Absarokee at Night! - 10/14/10 07:03 PM
As I had finished taking photos for the fall colors in Absarokee and Columbus yesterday (October 13, 2010), and was back in Absarokee to make dinner for friends at their house in Absarokee (yes, I brought all the ingredients with me to make two pizzas, a Hawaiian and one with 9 different ingredients which I dropped off prior to going on my latest fall colors photo hunt expedition) this was the last photo I captured:

This did not make it in the fall color series but I found the colors so mesmerizing that I thought it deserved a post of its own to share the view.  :) 
I am thankful for Mother Nature (Father Nature as … (17 comments)

Moose Monday - Those Strange Places Where You Find Moose! - 10/11/10 12:05 PM
It's Moose Monday and I got a very heavy and solid moose to share from Red Lodge, Montana.  It is actually made of steel and reinforced so it can withstand any bear attack!


 
 
This moose made of steel can be found on a heavy duty garbage can at the corner of 11th Street and Broadway Avenue in Red Lodge. 
 
 
 
  

 
 
Now something you don't see often, two bull moose in the same photo!  
This moose art garbage can is appropriately located next to The Pollard which has moose in its logo.  The Pollard Hotel is … (25 comments)

Silent Saturday or Almost Silent Saturday... Sitting by Rock Creek at the Medicine Flower Lodge - 10/02/10 11:55 AM
Nothing but the sound of the gently flowing stream along with the beautiful falls scenery.   :)

This picture was taken 4 miles North of Red Lodge at the Medicine Flower Lodge, a retreat center with Rock Creek frontage.  They do vacation rentals and offer some very private settings for weddings and social occasions.  The website is being revamped.  You can expect to see this photo appear on their updated website and colorful brochures.  :)
I will have another post and more info about Flower Medicine Lodge once their new website is up and running.
Happy Saturday and stay tuned for photos of the … (20 comments)
