Curtis,
Thanks for the kind words.
I am still in recuperation mode so my wife gives me a bit of slack. I did some garden chores today and pressure washed the front footpath. It feels good to be able to make a contribution again. There is a lot of work to do in spring and I am 5
weeks behind schedule.

Colin, you're definitely showing how to play this game. I'm loving all your images. Beautifully done!
I'm glad people are taking this seriously... I mean humorously... as Scott is doing. Love your play on words. I'm with Reagan... we're seeing a whole new side of our quiet friend from Rochester... Eggceptional work
Don’t know if anyone else noticed, but the last few pages have had more shots with the 55/3.5 and 55/2.8 than I think I have ever seen. Pretty awesome in my book.
I may be late on this, but wasn't there a challenge for things over 100 years old?
This photo is more "historical" in nature, rather than "art". This is historic Ft Connah located a few miles north of the town of St. Ignatius on the Flathead Reservation. This was a Hudson Bay trading post - built 1846-7 by Angus McDonald (hence all the McDonald names around here). It was shut in 1871 and was the last Hudson Bay trading post operating in the US. At the time it was run by Angus' son Duncan. It is the oldest, still standing building in Montana.
So now you have had your Montana history lesson for the day!

Doug you’re taking me back to two years ago when in May we were in Seeley Lake, West Glacier and down thru Kalispell. It’s amazed me then as it does now that there is snow in the mountains and on some roads. Beautiful country!

Thanks, Ken.
If you took Hwy 93 from Kalispell to Missoula, then you past right through here. It is, unquestionably, a very beautiful valley!
Unfortunately, Glacier Nat'l Park remains closed until further notice - this is a great time to visit the lower elevation places, like Avalanche Lake. Everything is on hold there
Taken with the 55 f3.5 Ai.
