"Swiftcurent Creek"

Swiftcurrent Creek flows crystal-clear from its namesake glacier, less than a mile up the valley from this fracture falls.

Behind the lens.

This is a stitch of three images top to bottom. I really needed a tall ladder to capture the scene, but I seldom hike with ladders. So I stood as far back on the rocks as possible, as high on my tippy-toes as I could, and stretched my neck to get every inch of this image.
"Salamander Meander"  

Like our own fingerprints, the pattern of golden flecks on each long-toed salamander are unique - not to mention beautiful. (Note - this image can be hung vertically or horizontally!)
"Mourning Cloak."

The Mourning Cloak is Montana's state butterfly. They overwinter as adults, like this one, and then mate and lay eggs in the spring.
"Evening Aster."

 There are many, many Aster species native to Montana, but they are all dark blue to lavender in color.
"Midnight Symphony"

The Northern Lights, (Aurora borealis), pulse and sway in a silent slow dance across the midnight skies above Lake McDonald, in Glacier National Park.
"Sleeping Harlequin Duck."

A male Harlequin Duck keeps one eye open while napping on a moss and lichen-covered boulder.

Behind the lens.

I actually made this image three camera bodies ago, and I finally got around to editing it about four years after making it.
