Labor Day weekend – the last long weekend of Summer. On Labor Day itself, I did labor – gladly! The first major delivery date for a new project (the one I went to San Francisco for) is due this Friday. It will be a push of a week but the reward is a long weekend next weekend and I plan to roll in Wild Thing for some favorite spots in Montana and a rendezvous with a fellow blogger along the way.

Despite the busier than normal work schedule, we never scrimp on walks. Yesterday, an early evening walk at Flathead Lake – rain had threatened all day but except for a few sprinkles, all we got was lovely clouds and occasional brilliant sunshine.

On the way home from the lake walk, the sun was low, the horizon filled with dark clouds, but a few peek holes allowed the rays to shine across the fields and light the foothills.

This property is on the corner of MT Hwy 35 and my road. I stopped to see if I could catch the sun lighting up the mountains and took a hurried first shot through the gate…and liked it.
