"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.  

"Endless Days and Skies"

I got some great shots last weekend while out and about.  The sun came out and there were some great clouds in the sky when I woke up, so I grabbed the camera and went to see what I could find.  If you live in Montana year-round, you know how to appreciate the warm weather and vibrant colors of the summer because it doesn't last long.  Being someone who doesn't exactly love winter,  I really feel the cabin fever wearing off when I can get out in a green field and soak up the Vitamin D I've been lacking all winter.  This landscape is my idea of what heaven probably looks like - open, sunny, and warm.  I hear the cap popping off a bottle of beer...

"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.
