The following is a photo of the colorful flowers taken in the summer of 2009.  Red Lodge Mountain (a great ski resort during winter) can be seen in the background. 

Beartooth Nature Center, Red Lodge, Montana - Summer 2009

It makes for a beautiful postcard.  Doesn't it?   :)

Hi Gerry... what beautiful pictures!  Being a Texan I am especially partial to the bluebonnets!

Vegas Bob,

I have acquired a taste for taking unusual photos such as photos that combine two subjects you would not expect to see together in a photo.   It is a coyote that is featured with the tulips in the first photo.  Her name is Bonnie and she has a brother by the name of Clyde but since he tends to be mean to her, he is next door but in a separate enclosure.   I appreciate the feature and I am glad that you visitrd this post.  Why not shoot for the gold?  :)

You are welcome.  The BNC is full of interesting birds and animals and these days, gorgeous flowers.  I am glad I got to share some of the pleasant sights of the BNC with the online community.

What! No comment about the moose?   :)

I does look like Niles is about to come out of the photo.  Careful!  He has long sharp pointy beak!  :)

Gerry - I didn't see him or the one "moose" word in your post as I had been admiring all of your flower and other photos. :)

Those are some GREAT photos, Gerry... I'm betting you're going to be hearing from me for permission to use some of them on the garden club website I maintain.

Marc,

I will admit that the moose took a backstage to the flowers and birds in this post.  But, wait till you see the upcoming Moose Monday photo!   :)

Thanks.  I will be interested to check out the garden club website.  Let me know which flower photos are good candidates for the garden club website.

Geri,

You can touch the flowers but be careful about the birds and the coyote.  They are wild animals!  :)

I appreciate your visit and your words of encouragement.

Gerry, Those photos are beautiful, I know lupine but I didn't know they are the same as bluebonnets!  I guess we learn something new every day:-) I'll bet you are enjoying being a volunteer there, it would be expecially nice with the animals AND the gorgeous flowers!

Mary,

Thank you for the positive feedback.  We always learn something new every day.  I enjoyed learning about all the animals at the Beartooth Nature Center and as a volunteer, I enjoy even more passing on the information and educating the visitors to the Center.  I love the animals, the gorgeous flowers and working with visitors from different places and of all walks of life but I will admit I enjoy working with the kids (those with inquiring minds) visiting the Center the best!
