I stopped along the rims today to make some photos of the snow-capped Beartooth Mountains before the snow melted and while walking to the edge of the rimrocks I saw this flower growing out of the sandstone. It reminded me of just how amazing the creation all around us is and how it is obvious […]

Grateful 365 Day Twenty-three
My youngest son, Gannon, is very creative and perceptive and he has noticed that I have been taking a lot more photos lately so he decided that he should make something for me to photograph. His creation, seen below, is an airplane that was technically complete this morning, but continued to grow throughout the day. […]
Grateful 365 Day Twenty-two
I still have the first camera that I got as a birthday present when I was probably 12 or 13. It is a 35mm Kodak point and shoot that my Mom and I picked out at a store in Miles City and my kids still play with it to this day. Granted, it doesn’t have […]
Grateful 365 Day Twenty-one
If you’ve paid attention at all to the news around the Billings area in the last 3-4 weeks you know that we are in the midst of one of the rainiest seasons on record. Memorial Day weekend was no exception and it pretty much rained every day with only a couple hours of partial sunlight […]
Grateful 365 Day Twenty
Today’s photo is from the Sunday morning “Message of Reason” at assembly (church). The regular preacher, Luke Wilson, was out of town this morning, which provided the opportunity for Josh Kelly, another great preacher, to fill in. Josh is a very thoughtful preacher and his message was very encouraging. The title of his message was […]
Grateful 365 Day Eighteen
Today’s photo was a tough one to choose because I am really not very happy with any of the photos I made. A big part of the reason I am doing this project is to help me get better at seeing the photographic opportunities around me and making the most of them. Unfortunately for me, […]
Grateful 365 Day Seventeen
As I have mentioned in past posts, most of Montana east of the Rocky Mountains has received record-breaking, river-flooding rain, which has kept us inside for the better part of the last 3 weeks. With very little break in the rain, we are very thankful to see the sun from time to time and when […]
Grateful 365 Day Sixteen
Day 16’s photo(s) sort of stretch the rules I put in place for myself in that it is 5 separate pictures instead of just one and I took longer than 15 minutes putting it together. There was really no way to choose just one photo from the “session” yesterday so I don’t mind coloring outside […]
Grateful 365 Day Fifteen
Day 15’s photo came at the end of a whole lot of photos I was taking of Lilly, Gannon, and Emma putting on a puppet show. Lilly was growing weary of smiling and decided that this face best described how she felt about continuing to be my subject. Lilly and I not only share many […]
