Winter is definitely in the air, and it is falling out of the sky even as I write. Not a good day to garden but I have many household chores that have been put off all season so that will occupy my time today.
I took a trip to Great Falls last week as a few of you know and here are a couple of things I ran across. The Bighorns attacted attention just above the Blackfoot Tavern, now another business, and a number of cars pulled over to watch. I was third in line and two more pulled up as I snapped this picture. I know this is the time for ewes and rams to be together but I wasn't aware that several rams might accompany a couple of ewes as happened here. And BIG! I don't think I have ever been that close to Bighorn sheep or realized just how massive they are.
If not now or earlier, or if you missed them, the first signs of winter were evident across the mountains and prairies of western Montana as the first dusting of snow highlighted the curves and peaks of the mountain ranges that surround us.
The picture above is near Ovando, the one below is looking to the Front Range far in the distance off Highway 200.
