The Confluence of the Missouri & the Milk Rivers Near Glasgow and Fort Peck, Montana. Why the name, and which river is which? Perhaps you can guess from journal entries of Lewis and Clark: Lewis: “The water of this river possesses a peculiar whiteness, being about the colour of a cup of tea with the…

Wild Cards! September 3, 2018
Krazy Pic 1 Remember those “Faith Fall” exercises, where you trust your partner to catch you? This gal has most admirable trust, but perhaps an incomplete understanding of the concept? Krazy Pic 2 I understand the frustration, but on TV? Would Julia Childs approve? Thus endeth the cooking show! KP#3 – Labor Day Bonus! So many questions: How long…

Branson Sunset Haven’t included any local shots for awhile. One of my favorite sunset shots, taken in October, 2006. (See a small handful of other assorted sunrise/sunset shots from the Ozarks. Can you tell which is which? Indeed, one of them may be a moonrise.) From the Ozarks Scenes & Seasons Collection

Krazy Pic 1 One of the drawbacks of healthy eating? I laughed out loud! Don’t you hate it when this happens? 🙂 Krazy Pic 2 Does the phrase Fox in the Henhouse come to mind?

Krazy Pic 1 I’m thinking there might have been an easier way to say this? KrazyPic 2 Ya gotta concede: It does appear that directions were followed here! Bird Humor! I’m not sure if this is an Astute Observation, a Clever Caption, or Krazy Pic 3. Perhaps it’s a little of all three! Sent along by my brother-in-law Carl Garrett (with no aspersions to…

The Gallatin & The Missouri Rivers Back to the River this week! Here, the Gallatin flows into the Missouri near Three Forks, MT. The Gallatin is the third of the ‘three forks’ to enter, making the confluence the official source of the Missouri River. Taken on July 29, 2016. Here’s a view looking downstream at the (official)…

Krazy Pic 1 As a (former) lover of desserts, this is very tempting. As a (former) math teacher, not so much! 🙂 KrazyPic 2 In the category of helpful-but-perhaps-not-needed advice? Cartoon of the Week I miss Peanuts almost as much as Calvin and Hobbes! Here, Snoopy shares the common lament of prospective writers everywhere! 🙂 (Thanks to Paul…

Sunset on the Mexican Pacific Documentation is missing and memories are fuzzy, but this shot was likely taken in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in the mid/late ’00s. From the Maine to Alaska Collection.
