Dedicated exclusively to photos taken only by me and only in Montana.

Rain-soaked flowers: #spreadingdogbane, arrowwood (I think), and #honeysuckle. #Montana #Flowers #Rain

A trip down one of the #Montana highways yielded these amazing fields of #BearGrass. There are some #lupines in there as well, plus a sneaky #whitetail doe.

The first #peony to bloom. #flowers #Montana

#clouds lurking behind the Northern #rockies but the storm never appeared. Apparently they were merely letting us know they COULD cause #storms if they wanted to. #Montana

A Sego #Lily with raindrops. #Montana

A #hummingbird taking advantage of the free food on a gloriously sunny day. #Montana

An Eight Spotted Forester moth was kind enough to pose for me during a recent hike. This guy was pretty tiny - no bigger than a US dime. #Montana #Moth

Saw the first dragonfly of the season a few days ago: This appears to be a Common Darter #dragonfly. Gorgeous, unusual (in my eyes) coloring. He wasn't camera-shy about having his photo taken. #Montana #spring

Out looking for the #Auroraborealis (it didn't show) so instead snapped a pic of the Big Dipper. #Montana

This morning's #lunareclipse. Couldn't get the colors to come through, but you get the idea. #Montana 🌓

A barely visible morning waning crescent #moon. #Montana

#conch #fungus under a bridge. #Montana

Tonight's Super #moon. #Montana

[406_Pix @Pix406]

This #dragonfly kept buzzing around me last night practically begging to be photographed. #Montana

[406_Pix @Pix406]

Frozen #moss. #Montana #winter

[406_Pix @Pix406]

When you live in the land of extreme #Weather, the opportunities for photos are unlimited. Case in point is this barbed wire coated with #pogonip - aka frozen #fog. #Montana #WINTER

[406_Pix @Pix406]

It's going to be cloudy during the upcoming full #HuntersMoon, so here's a shot of the nearly-full #Moon. #Montana

As many have heard, the second week of October 2024 was about as epic as it comes when talking about the #auroraborealis. They were actually visible with the naked eye. #BucketList = CHECKED. #Montana

This #dragonfly is taking a rest before flying off to parts unknown.
