So a few weeks ago I got to go spend a few blissfully peaceful hours at Flathead Lake. It was near midnight and the moon was shining bright. After a hectic day of chasing my kid around the house, wrangling the dogs, cooking dinner, cleaning the house, and taking care of my husband while he had a migraine....it was nice to have a bit to myself.
About 20 minutes from my home is a small town called Somers with lakeside access right off the hwy. Its small but the view is beautiful and quickly becoming one of my go to places to relax. Hopefully I can explore more of the shoreline and get some photographs to hang up in my home. For now I am in love with the docks that can be seen from the picnic tables in Somers.

a banner for Boston
I just don't understand the violence that happened yesterday. The two families that lost their loved ones, the countless others who were injured.... their lives are forever changed because of the actions of someone else. It sickens me that my son has to grow up in a world like that. When he came home from school yesterday, I was sitting in front of my TV watching in shock as the events unfolded in Boston, Mass.
He quietly sat next to me and held my hand only asking if there was something that we could do to help. In that moment I realized raising my son so that he never loses that gentle and loving nature was the best thing I can do to help. It might not help immediately but when he is a grown man, he will know what is right and good. He will feel compassion towards others. He will help who he can when he can and the world will be a better place for it.
I won't begin to pretend that I understand the politics, religious beliefs, or the issues that can drive someone to hurt innocent people like that. I refuse to believe that disagreement of such things can be THE reason that blood is spilled on the streets around the world. Deep-seated evil has to live within each and every person that has ever taken such actions.
My heard breaks for all of those affected by the events of 4/15. God bless

Is it SPRING yet?!?
I'm also really excited for the National Bison Range to open back up. Its a bit of a drive for me but its totally worth it. They usually open in May and have tons and tons of baby animals running around. They best part is that its an open range with no man-made intrusions destroying the natural beauty. The drive around the loop is about two hours long on a single lane one way dirt road. You can go as slow as you want, stopping when ever you want (as long as you stay in your vehicle). I have been going to the Bison Range for the last 4 years and its truly one of my favorite places to just spend the day.
OOO and don't forget Brenen's Wave in Missoula!! Man-o-man I could spend my entire spring and summer over there photographing the kayakers. I will be the first one to admit that I would never be brave enough to the one doing the kayaking, but heck yes I will photograph them all day long!
The point is that I'm anxious for spring to be sprung.

My backyard...
is so breathtaking. It's unfortunate but I take it for granted most of the time. I mean when you get to see this when ever you want it tends to just fade into the norm of everyday. The more I think about that it just become such a sad sentiment.....that I plan on changing. I live in a truely beautiful place that should be treasured and shared.
Now that spring is only 13 days away, I hope that I can get out more and capture what makes my home in Montana such enchanted place to live.
