A favorite activity in NW Montana this time of year is to ‘go larching’. The perfect calm of the lake worked as a mirror to double the impact of the Western Larch in their fall golden display.

An old blaze marking the trail. And fur traps in Grizzly Bear territory.

I’m thinking I need to carry the breaking of a new day on an endless loop with me. A reminder that hope and resolve refresh when we need them most.

How to describe such moments. Sweat flowing. Cooling embrace of the mountain air. Huckleberry bushes reddening. Birds frantically feeding and flocking to move before snows descend. For a moment, all calms to register and store in my soul.

With all that is going on, it is so nice to have reminders to stop, take a deep breath, and take in moments of intense beauty. Sunset just now.

#TheRoad home. The fall brings changing colors but also bands of cold fronts bearing precipitation.

The changing colors of fall. Is any other season so filled with contrasting emotions?

Rehoming. A territorial squirrel stashing pine cones in an old log home. This log home collapses and decomposes more each year. Kinda sad seeing this history disappear, but yet reassuring to see nature reclaiming what has always been its.

Reflecting on how magical it is to start the day above the clouds.

Simple pleasures. Nothing feels better after a hike in a downpour of rain about to turn to snow, than getting back to your car and turning the heater on blast and the seat heater on high.

Sunday. A day for gentle intrusions into reflections. A day to start with allowing your thoughts to wander.

I carry my #Home on my back(pack). My latest goal is to hike to as many high mountain lakes as possible before the winter snows limit the trails.

Nothing brightens the fall trails quite like the turning of the Mountain Ash.

What a day yesterday.Trying to fit too many errands while in town. Another unsettling news cycle. Rushing to make calls from parking lots.

The decision to loop by the ponds outside of town was the best. Sandhill Cranes staging for migration. Calmed by the melody of soft purrs and rattling bugles.
