Kelly and I arrive in Calgary, Alberta last Wednesday evening and made ourway down to Montana to photograph in Glacier National Park.  I knew it was going to be too early in theseason for some aspects of the park but I also felt this time of the year wouldpresent us with a different view than the normal mid-summer weather and it surehas.
We have had our share of stormy weather but it has given us great skies andclouds to work with.  We have had rainbut that brings rainbows.  The groundsquirrels are in all the meadows just chirping away their warnings to others ofyour approach and there is something special about sitting in a meadow offlowers and listening to them, even if you can’t see them.  A few are in more habituated areas and allowtheir photo to be taken and, of course, I did.
Kelly has been a great spotter of wildlife and we have seen elk, deer, moose,brown and black bears, bald eagles and more. I have to say that photographing a scene down by a river far from anyonewith a bald eagle flying around looking for a meal is an incredible joy.
One evening as we were photographing sunset at Wild Goose Island, one ofthe young park rangers was sitting at the lookout and playing his guitar andsinging to his girlfriend some modern folk music.  He plays at some of the night programs for thepark and he is an incredible talent.  It wasprobably the most enjoyable sunset photography experience I have ever had. 
The road to the top of the park just opened Tuesday at noon so we have awhole new area to work.  I’ll get somephotos of that area posted in the next entry. We’ll rise at 4am again tomorrow and I can wait to see what it brings us.
