First Snow! – September 30, 2009
I woke up this morning to pounding snow outside. Sure, it was 37 degrees and the snow was melting right off the roads, but it was still snowing! And it has been, in various intensities and qualities, all day. Even a fainting spell after a knee-tap didn’t blunt my pure joy at seeing flakes fall. [...]
Late September
Late September has been awesome here in Bozeman. The weather finally cooled off and the wind has been blowing incessantly. Great weather for hiking, camping, and bridge jumping. A distinct chill of winter is in the air. This shot was taken on our return trip to Lava Lake. We also returned to the bridge in [...]

I’ve always heard that [...]

On a trip to Montreal in late-July I spent the entire day walking around the Stadium, the Biodome, Insectarium, and the Botanical Garden. Probably the coolest part of the garden was the Chinese Garden, which was a large lagoon surrounded by Chinese-style [...]
Bouldering In Bozeman
I’ve really gotten into bouldering since moving here. The Town of Bozeman and a local pro climber teamed up and placed several artificial boulders around town for the public to use. They’re pretty sweet with lots of really tricky problems and routes.
