Look No Farther Than Your Own Backyard

David and I took a leisurely drive into the heart of the Flathead Valley.






Farms and ranches dotted the landscape, under a turbulent sky.








Curious horses in fuzzy winter coats graciously posed for pictures,

 

before we stopped at Fairview Cemetery, where it was incredibly cold.



A field of diverse angels was revealed. A  girlish one prays to the heavens.



A sleeping cherubim pitted by time, lay peacefully.



A trumpeting Gabriel shone in the light.








While yet another symbolizes the renewal of life.











Observe carefully when wandering about a cemetery. You will find life,








and  tokens from the dead.








On the road again, we spotted wildlife.  We stopped and began hunting with our cameras.









A herd of  30 magnificent elk grazed in a grassy field






We snapped shot after shot until they ran into the woods.




It was a day of unexpected treasures discovered in our own backyard.




Thank you all for following!


Till next time,


Marlene
