"Virga over the Clark Fork River" by amontanaview | RedBubble:

This was taken April 9, 2011 west of Missoula, Montana USA on the Clark Fork River. The camera is looking north and east at Montana Snowbowl Ski Area and the Rattlesnake Wilderness Area. It was a gorgeous spring day and the fishing was good.

Virga is precipitation that falls from a cloud but evaporates before reaching the ground.

"Gold Creek" by amontanaview | RedBubble:

What a great name for this place. This photo was taken up Gold Creek east and north of Missoula, Montana USA. The meadow is gold and I am pretty sure there are pots of gold at both ends of this rainbow. Gold Creek is to the left just yards from this meadow and the photo is looking north east. What a dynamic day in October 2011.
Canon EOS 7D 1/1000s, f/5.6, ISO:200 56mm. Taken with SIGMA 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG Aspherical DF Macro SLD Autofocus Lens.

"Vesper basking in lamp light" by amontanaview | RedBubble

"Vesper basking in lamp light" by amontanaview | RedBubble:

Vesper, my daughter's Maine Coon cat, is right at home on our Norwegian sweaters draped over a chair. As if he isn't warm enough, he snuggles in the luscious warm wool. It makes me want to take a nap...

I love the sepia tones (naturally from Vesper, the couch and evening lamplight) in contrast with the colorful Freesia flowers in the background.

Taken on a cold, fall evening west of Victor, Montana USA in our home. We had a roaring fire going in our wood stove as we were getting out winter clothes and doing the seasonal closet switch and cleaning. Of course Vesper was keeping a close eye on us and his favorite garments.
