Montana: Big Sky Country
 
A new day begins
Good morning from Tim in Montana!

Montana's nickname is "Big Sky Country". The view from my home is expansive, sublime and often breathtaking. The horizons are bigger here and lend credence to the thought that all things are possible. No dream is too large for this landscape.
Most of the photos on this page were shot from my front deck. I hope you they give you a sense of how lucky I feel to live in such a beautiful place.

Even in the sub-zero cold of winter Montana's big sky puts on a wonderful show. I rose with the sun one February morning and discovered that Paradise Valley was engulfed by winter clouds. From my lofty perch at 6,150 feet I saw the top half of Mount Emigrant poking almost 11,000 feet into the thin, cold air. Higher still another bank of clouds did its best to block the sun from warming the valley below.
This photo was taken from the warm confines of my living room through the double pane glass doors.

Yellowstone Park is only 25 miles from my home in Emigrant. Like Montana, it is incredibly beautiful, full of animals, home to hot springs and geysers and waiting for you to visit. Even if you only stay for a weekend I guarantee that you will leave a changed person. Your troubles will diminish and your soul will be soothed. Montana's grand beauty will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. Stay a little longer and you may find yourself feeling like me; on top of the world, grateful to God and in awe of the ever changing beauty that surrounds me every day.
