rainy day drive .. highway .. refuge .. backroads.

​
​We discovered these yellow pond-lilies along the highway near home.

Gotta keep your eyes open and camera ready anywhere you go in Montana, as you never know what, where, and when you might see something. I'm known to pull over and hop out on the side of the road at a moment's notice. :)

There were plenty of red-winged blackbirds hanging out on the dried cattails as we drove along the main pond at the refuge.

Another angle of the barn at the refuge.

​The straight on view with the cloudy mountain background is what attracted my attention on this trip.

St. Mary's Peak obscured in the rain clouds behind the pond and barn.

The colors in this photo caught my eye after leaving the refuge.
​Always something to pull over and stop for. :)

As we took the backroads home, we stopped to watch and photograph a flock of turkey vultures. While doing so, this bald eagle flew overhead and landed off in the field.

I captured several cool photos of the vultures, so they will be featured in their own post.
Coming up next... :)
