Picture of the Day - 8/14/08



We need to make tracks towards Detroit, where I'll be photographing an engineering conference all next week. So, we left the campground, crossed into the U.S. and headed across Montana via Highway 2; cutting south at Highway 13. Montana's "tagline" is "Big Sky Country" and I now understand fully what that means. No matter which way one looks, the sky is always 4/5ths of the view!


Sheila captured this newborn deer in the Waterton Townsite yesterday (Waterton Lakes NP) and I couldn't help but award it the picture of the day! The deer was munching away at the leaves and turned just as she snapped the shutter - perfect highlights in the eyes! Today we're including a bonus picture! "Lone Tree at Sunset" was taken late in the day today of some typical Montana skyline. The wheat field had just been freshly cut and the sun was casting a golden glow. The dark storm clouds in the back make the scene visually striking.


Tonight, we're camped at Glendive, just short of the North Dakota border. Tomorrow, we take an early drive through the Theodore Roosevelt NP and continue on towards Detroit.
