"It is not the language of painters but
the language of nature which one should listen to,
the feeling for the things themselves, for reality
is more important than the feeling for pictures."
-Vincent VanGogh
There's just something about nature that can soothe the soul. I feel myself aching for the mountains' rugged beauty in every season. We live in northern Montana with its spacious cerulean skies that never seem to end. Glacier National Park is just a few hours away from home here on the plains.

The winters can seem like eternity...first snow arrives in October and spring doesn't really arrive until late May. So do the counting. That's four months for green grass, leaves, flowers and fully thawed streams. Oh, and there is no promise we won't see snow from June through September. I've become very attached to my Fujifilm FinePix S700 camera. I know it's an older camera and there are better ones to be had.
