yet another mystery

The house is open.

…as in the gates are open. They both have run of the house.

The “boy’s room” is heated to 68F!!!

There is fleece on the day bed in the boy’s room.

The bedroom is cool at 60F, but there is fleece and flannel and a window to the woods.

Bob and Bear are both in the living room…Bear on one of the chairs he prefers for nighttime and Bob on the dog bed….

I have put the dog bed in various places and with and without a pillow…for Bear, to allow him an easy and comfortable bed vs jumping on to my bed or one of the leather chairs (while we are resting his leg). Bear occasionally uses the “dog” bed, but never for long. I’ve flipped it so that the canvas side is up…thinking that maybe the fleece side is too warm…

I’ve moved it here and there.

Whatever.

The “just stay out of my way” boys…now are the “together boys”… yet another mystery.

Moon mystery

This morning out with Bear, the full moon was still hours away from setting. There is a day old skiff of new snow making the dark o’clock outings not quite so dark.

This photo…I couldn’t see those colors. I was trying to capture the moon lighting up the mare’s tail clouds above it.

I increased the exposure in post processing and I have no idea if those colors are actual refraction of moonlight in atmosopheric moisture or if they are some sort of chromatic aberration of the camera lens. Per the weather information, it is foggy in Kalispell so there may be enough moisture to allow a kind of “rainbow”…I just don’t know.

October Snow

From a late warm/hot Summer/Fall to suddenly Fall…

On the way to town this morning, the clouds were low over the mountain tops.

Last night, I looked at the Glacier National Park web cams to see if there was snow in the park. It had rained at my house all day with the temperature hovering at 45F so I thought…snow up high… I saw nothing.

But on the way home this morning, I looked to the east and was surprised to see snow under the lifting clouds!

Confirmed on the loop walk…

October Snow!
