Number One

Well, I finally made it onto the Blog! Now that I'm here I don't know what to say. Thanks Maureen for getting me plugged in. A few days ago I mass emailed some pictures from my work in Milk River, AB (AB/MT border), but I don't have everybody's email address, so I thought this would be a better way for people to see them. So here are a few of the ones I sent.

This one was taken looking north at an alkali lake (can just see the strip of it in the midground) over a tame grass (Crested Wheatgrass) pasture.

This is a sunrise behind the Sweetgrass Hills in Montana. I had to move fast to get this picture. I was in the bottom of a coulee and could see the sky getting lighter, so it was a rush to get to the top. I got there just in time.

These are rose hips on an overcast and very windy afternoon. I found them on the side of a coulee I was hiking through. There were shrew/mouse tracks everywhere down there and I spooked two from almost directly under my feet. It's so funny to watch them run at top speed through their twisty-turny trails under the grass.

I'm just arriving at my office in this picture. It's on the other side of the fence off to the left. It's 9 sections in size (9 mi x 9 mi) and about half of that is native grass (same as the picture).
