UPDATE 15 AUGUST 2017

This post is a catch up of sorts with pictures that never made it to the blog. 

Of course lots of flowers.

The sun through the clouds and smoke.

A paddle on Como

Grandniece Hailey during her graduation that I presented the colors.

New pines coming up in old pines.

A friendly dragon fly.

A couple of owls that allowed me to take some pictures.

BIGHOLE GETAWAY

We decided to get out of the smoke here in the Bitterroot so headed over to the Bighole to gain a little altitude and maybe some cooler weather.  There was still smoke over there for the first day though.  We camped at May Creek the first night, Miners Lake the second, and along the Pioneer Mountain Scenic Byway the third night.  The air was definitely better over there.  And it rained a little all three days!!  Ate a lot of great food - both that we brought and some we bought.
