I’ve been back from my trip to Montana for a week now… and unfortunately, it already feels like a distant dream! Sadly, vacations come to an end, but at least we have our memories and photos to keep us warm.

Montana boots — the obligatory shoe picture.

Here are some selections from my recent adventures. As my husband continually pointed out, lots of lakes and mountains… and then more lakes and mountains… and even more — plus waterfalls whenever possible.

Not necessarily in chronological order:

And our day at Yellowstone:

In which we did way too much in one exhausting day… but came home very happy.

Oh, nothing. Just driving by.

Would I go back? You betcha! Because there’s really nothing like getting away to a beautiful spot to help me appreciate just how glorious summer days can be.
