~More Macro~

I love taking close up pictures of little things you can't really see...and as you may know, that is why I love to use the macro setting on my camera. Once I buy a DSLR camera, macro pictures will be even better. :)

Clouds and sky.

I love this one...Montana wheat and Devil's Slide!

Dad and Bennett installing the last window...in the garage. Bennett "accidentally" threw a hatchet through the only window in our house that we hadn't replaced yet.  So....Bennett not only had to help install the window, he had to buy it too!

Angel sighting! ;)

Tilly loves to play on the swing set.

A ring on the swingset and Devil's Slide.

My favorite.

You think Tilly likes paint that bad to want to eat it?? :)  She was water coloring when I caught her!

Bridger Bowl Raptor Festival

On October 6th, we traveled to Livingston for Preston's last soccer game. A cold and windy one. We were told about the "Raptor Festival" at Bridger Bowl.  The festival, which is free to the public, centers around a raptor migration count of the largest known Golden Eagle migration in the United States which takes place at the Bridger Bowl ski area in the Gallatin National Forest just north of Bozeman. We didn't get to see the migration, but we just took a walk on the ski hill that we usually ski down...without any snow (for a while)! It was very cold up there, so we were all in our down jackets. :) There were lots of people and we got to see a couple of birds...

On our way to Livingston...fresh snowy mountaintops.

Walking up the hill (Virginia City ski run).
