I’m writing this on Saturday evening just after 8 p.m. and it is 75 degrees fahrenheit – a bit above normal by 10-15 degrees! This is the third and warmest day in our Montana Spring heat wave – tomorrow is to be cooler and by mid-week we are forecast to be 10-15 degrees below normal.<\/p>\n

But today and yesterday – like summer and Karl and I walked early. Friday we walked at the State Park by Flathead Lake.<\/p>\n

\"Karl<\/p>\n

Karl is on a rocky area that will soon – maybe tomorrow (Monday) be covered. The sudden warm temperatures are melting the mountain snow pack and filling the rivers and streams that feed Flathead Lake. <\/p>\n

The rocky shore above will be under water soon also.<\/p>\n

Yesterday morning we walked at the Historic “Trails to Rails” walk in Somers, Montana – a walk\/bike trail starts in Somers and ends miles away west of Kalispell. We walk a short bit of this asphalt trail that has view of the mountains and on a clear day, when the lake is at normal height – Flathead Lake. <\/p>\n

\"Somers\"<\/p>\n

I love this little “barn”? – the color of the wood, it’s narrow tall shape against the background – it is a pretty structure to my eye.<\/p>\n

\"Somers\"<\/p>\n

I think it is funny that Karl gets so excited when we make the turn that leads to this trailhead. It is an asphalt path and is fenced in – much more citified than our typical walking places. It is a walk, though, and maybe just the variety is intriguing…<\/p>\n

\"Somers\"<\/p>\n

\"Somers\"<\/p>\n

Headed back now, the “hill” is the village of Somers.<\/p>\n

On the drive back home I stopped to take some photos. The foothills had that shadowy look that I love and I hoped to capture it. This implement barn caught my eye also.<\/p>\n
