Montana

I flew up to Montana for a nice long summer visit with my parents. I enjoyed the hot Montana summer; such a difference from cool and foggy San Francisco.

This was to be Lizzie's last summer and while she slowed down, she had a good life even at the end. She was family and we will miss her.

Irrigation Canal

An irrigation canal splits off from the creek and travels through our property, to provide water for the ranch just down the valley. This area is quite lush.

Whenever I was down at our neighbor's ranch taking photos this horse would come out, hoping I'd have a carrot.
