Flathead Lake from the edge of Bigfork Village and from Wayfarer’s State Park – yesterday afternoon.

My property sits on the eastern edge of a heavily wooded foothill. I can see through the trees to the east – to the Swan Range, sunrise color, and sunset alpenglo – but sunset over the valley is something I rarely see. I don’t go out much evenings… But last night, the sky overhead and over the trees to the west was shot with magenta and fiery orange. I called to Karl, grabbed the camera, jumped in the Jeep and drove down the hill. I gasped at the first site of the clouds and color and then sped to a spot where I could park the Jeep before things changed – the light and color can be so fleeting sometimes. But tonight, the show went on for awhile. I took some photos but also just sat with Karl and watched – sky fire – beautiful!
