A few weeks ago we visited the National Bison Range. They have two roads to choose from, the low road and the high road. On the low road you should see bison, and on the high road, mountain sheep. The first time, we took the low road. Yesterday we chose the high road. No sheep, but lots of other goodies.

Didn't expect to see bison on the high road. They weren't aggressive. When they saw me all they did was turn their butts my way. Everyone's a critic.

I didn't know we were expecting a blue moon! Looks good, though.
It reminds me of my former profession - computer programming. When they started coming out with simplified computer languages that the average consumer could use, they predicted that professional computer programmers would soon be a thing of the past. That was in the 1970's. After over forty years as a computer programmer, I retired, and at that point, programmers were in more demand than at any time in history.
Thanks for the tip. I was wondering when to expect that. Good shot.
Took what is probably the last of our fall color drives today. Still beautiful but fading fast. Today's drive followed the Coeur D'Alene River.
Clever! He might also be waiting for lunch.

No, but we have only lived here six months. Hope this isn't an annual celebration!
These photos speak for themselves. You all know Greek, right?
We have been invaded by literally billions, if not tens of billions, of gnats. You can't go outside without breathing them in. However, being a photographer first and a breather second (for short periods of time) I got this photo.
He's praying that the photographer will get his best side. And you did.
