I don't use facebook so I don't know if links expire? Maybe you could try to make a new link for us to view if that isn't too much trouble?

Alice,
The Montana Apricots are beautiful! The reflections look so real.

I've accomplished little today. The Birch branches were dumped into the community compost bin at the transfer station near the fairgrounds where I picked up my photos and the $10 prize money (for a net loss of $6 in entry fees).

We woke today to our town covered in smoke from the forest fires burning in the region. One of the women I planned to take swimming is in her mid seventies and has a heart condition so she decided to stay indoors at home. Another friend and I went down to the river and spent a lazy afternoon in and beside the cool water at the river. A Bald Eagle passed by several times, flying low over the water. A small stag emerged from an island, walked slowly across a gravel bar and disappeared into the trees on a larger island. The only other wildlife I encountered was a small leach stuck to my ankle. Interesting to see it but I would have preferred not to see it that way.
