Barns!
I have been looking for barns to photograph, and today it was barns galore! Caitlin and I had to leave Chico Hot Springs earlier than expected, because we had to take Henry to the doctor (he’s fine). We drove the East River Road through the Paradise Valley on our way to Bozeman- one of the most scenic routes you could ever find. She promised me that we would stop and take photos on the way back. It looks so idyllic- I had to remind myself how windy, icy, and snowy it is most of the year. Alas, not a retirement spot for the likes of us!
Here’s one of the many rural scenes I experienced today.

This is so beautiful! My cousin lives in Montana….I really need to go there. She is up by Flathead Lake near Glacier. This would be a great calandar picture!
The snow on the mountaintop would also make me think twice about retiring there..give me CA. However, beautiful photo.
Gorgeous. You did good with your barn stalking.
