"Sacred Heart"

The Sacred Heart Catholic Church, near Harlem, Montana.  As a lover of pastels, this little country church just gets me.  Pink and an aqua blue sky made the very hot day worth it.  It was about 103 degrees when this was taken, at the end of a beautiful June day.  

"Sandhill Cranes and Wheat Field"

When I love photography

All the time, but when I see something like this, it really gets me in the gut.  I'd never seen this many cranes in one place before.  Usually I see one or two together.  The sky was such a beautiful color.  This was at the end of the summer, when most of the wheat fields in Montana have been cut and it's very dry and hot.  It's miserable weather, but it creates wonderful color combinations in the landscape and sky.
