Day 217: Winding our way home again…

Friday, August 7, 2015

‘Stache on the deck of our cabin at the KOA. Dailylife Daughter #1 and Lugnut at the Whistle Stop Cafe in East Glacier…good food, slow service… The real reason I took that photo above: the neat reflections in Lugnut’s sunglasses! We saw this interesting truck on the way home.  It is a single, rigid trailer, […]

Day 216

Friday, August 7, 2015

The Party was held and Dad and Sarah’s Church, Easthaven, up on Whitefish Stage Road.  This is a wide angle view of setting some of it up. A nameless friend of Dad’s, and Dad’s Speed Key.  That is the telegraph key he used when he was a telegrapher from the Northern Pacific Railroad, way back […]

Day 215

Friday, August 7, 2015

The next morning, the day of the party, most of us went to the local iHop for breakfast.  Dad was the only one who wouldn’t look at the camera! From the left front to the back, and from the back right to the front:  The Dailylife Wife, Toots, Debbie, Sarah, Dad, Sherissa, Dezzi, Shawnna*, and […]

Day 214

Friday, August 7, 2015

We headed up to the Flathead Valley for Dad’s 90th Birthday.  With lots of family coming up there we stayed at the KOA.  Lugnut got to ride his new bike around. It was a bigger area than our drive way! A tree out behind Dad’s, in the setting sun. My sisters Debbie and Deyanne. Another […]

Day 213

Friday, August 7, 2015

More from the evening of the Super Blue Moon…I think this is a Swainsons Hawk.  The coloring is off because everything out there was golden red from the setting sun. * ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 212

Friday, July 31, 2015

While I was out for the moonrise, a train rumbled through Fife.  Five Engines! It seemed to be grain cars: I think they were headed the wrong way to be full, so some of the locomotives were probably deadheading until needed.  There is a new circle track grain elevator down by Moccasin.  I will have […]

Day 211: Super Blue Moon!

Friday, July 31, 2015

We are having a Super Blue Moon…the Blue part is that this is the second Full Moon this month.  It happens every now and then.  I went out to watch the moonrise and it was disappointing.  It rose about half an hour before the sun set, and the moonrise itself was lost in the haze […]

Day 210

Tuesday, July 28, 2015

Here are my five print entries in the State Fair: I think this one was in Nature…it got Third Place. This was in Wildlife. This was also Wildlife and placed Third.   This got Third in Black and White People. I think this was in Action. Lots of good photos this year! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 209

Tuesday, July 28, 2015

Now for something completely different…. I was driving for the Red Cross to Missoula last Friday, and trying to get back through Bonner on the way home I had to wait! Montana Rail Link occasionally runs and engine and cars into the old plywood plant in Bonner.  They store logs and chips there. The Fireman […]

Day 208

Tuesday, July 28, 2015

Down at the end of the Advanced section we have a cabinet we fill with old cameras and stuff.  Here are some of the things…being directed by our “out-of-towner” member!  The old bellows camera on the tripod was brought in by one of the volunteers. On the top shelf is a Bell & Howell movie camera […]
