Glacier Park and Flathead Lake

My wife and I were able to go visit my Dad this weekend while he is working in Kalispell this weekend! Luckily my wife was up for my dragging her around to take lots of photo's (even though she wasn't feeling that great most of the time)!

The condo where my dad is staying is awesome and has lakefront property which is a pretty nice view!

This is Flathead Lake, Not exactly out of his condo, but you get the idea of how pretty it is!

This is actually the public park about a block down from his condo.

Was able to get a few good sunrise photo's even though it was smokey and kept getting worse

the longer we were there.

This was looking down from Logan Pass visitor center in Glacier to give you an idea on how bad the smoke was.

(Going to the sun road was closed at the top because of construction, so it took us a long

time in the car to get around to the St. Mary side of the park.)

We got to do a little hiking on the Lake McDonald side of the Park, which was easy but got us some 

great things to see.

Lake McDonald

Besides the sore throat from all the smoke, it was a good time hanging out with Family and getting 

explore part of the state that I haven't been to before. I can't wait to get back up there!

 Near Somers, MT on Flathead Lake.

I will probably post more photo's once I get time to go over more of them.

Thanks for looking!

Hiking 26 Miles the end of this month!

I'm getting ready to hike 26 Miles at the end of this month. So hopefully I will get lot's of great backcountry photo's! The East Rosebud trail that I'm hiking is one of the most beautiful places I have been, so I'm excited to go back there and get some nice photo's! I did the hike several years ago before I had a real camera. So this time I should have better photo's when I come back.

Here are some from last time I hiked it!

Headed to Hawaii Next week!

Just a few photo's from previous trips to Hawaii!

 Somewhere new Laie, HI.

 Byodo-In Temple Kaneohe, HI. 

 My wife enjoying Thai food at Haleiwa Eats in Haleiwa, HI.

The coast line near Hanauma Bay!

I hope to have lot's of new photo's from this trip next week! 

Early Morning

A few from the early morning this morning!

Out and About

Had a chance to drive around and snap a few photo's the other day. Nothing great, but it feels nice

to get out and take random photo's.

 This was a cool clearing in the clouds over the Beartooths, Not sure what I was doing with

my camera, but still kinda cool in an old fashion photo way.

This is just a photo of downtown from the rims, it makes downtown look pretty small!

I hope to get out in the morning and get a few sunrise photo's. Hopefully tomorrow will show 

the results of that adventure.

Bahamas!!!

Just got back from the Bahama's and I have finally had a chance to go through some of the photo's.

 Flying from New York to Florida.

 The angry bird right as we boarded the ship.

 Day two: As we came into port in Nassau, Bahamas.

 The pirate museum... Where the local pirate tried to steal my wife!

 Our ship as we were getting ready to get back on it.

 Awesome sunset's on the ocean.

The watchful owl!

We had a great time and wish it would have lasted longer!

To more recent news, I had a photo on the KULR 8 News tonight of a grass fire

near Greycliff, MT. I just wish that it would have been a better photo!

Thanks for looking!
