Camas Prairie Montana

Here's a picture of the Camas Pairie in Montana that I took today on my way to Flathead Lake. It's the first picture on my blog that I've taken with my new camera. I think we're going to get along ok. This is one of my favorite places even though a rattlesnake almost bit me here once. I heard it buzz and I looked down to see it coil back. It's a good place to wear your cowboy boots, but today it was too cold for snakes.

For some reason my mind always comes back to this place when I look into my past. The trips in the back seat of the car with my parents.. It's still like it was back then. The air still smells the same. Even the dirt here seems clean.

I'm still getting used to my new camera. Monitors make such a big difference in how things look on screen. So I re-posted it. It looked ok on my laptop, dark on my NEC but way too saturated on this Samsung.

Isn't it wonderful to be able to have something make you recall your youth... assuming it's a pleasing youthful experience.

The photo is really pretty and looks just about right on my lappy screen!!

Cool. I made it fit on my laptop. I also have it on my screen at work righ now. I'll post a version that I know fits so you can right click and copy. I'd love it if we went there together into those clouds.
