This was taken at Yellowstone National Park. On the back it says "Together we can Survive and Thrive" There were several Elk Cows and calves on this little island in the river, browsing and napping together, it made me think that we all could survive and thrive if we worked together.

  These Delphiniums were growing in my yard in Montana. The front says: "If we dance with the fairies we can see the world with a new perspective." I felt like I was seeing these beautiful flowers from a new perspective from this angle- and  imagined this is what the flower fairies would see.

  Here is a team of Belgian horses on the derrick which pulls the hay in a basket to dump on the top of the stack for winter feed. The G-K Ranch offers this demonstration every year - usually in July. The hay is mowed, raked and stacked with horses that belong to Montana teamsters.

  These Bleeding Heart flowers were growing in my yard. I have very limited growing space and not great soil so any flowers that survive in my Montana flower beds are appreciated. These flowers come in a variety of colors and sizes.

  While visiting family on the island of Anacortes, Washington, we drove up Mount Erie for the view. When the sun came out and filtered through the trees I hollered "Stop!" I just had to take this photo; then I walked into the sunshine. The clouds only let this ray touch the earth for a brief moment. There is always a ray of hope to touch our lives if we choose to believe.

This is "Grace" my Dalmatian. She had a bad accident as a pup but that did not stop her from enjoying life to the fullest, even on three legs. She loves me more than I deserve and her expression in this photos makes me smile.
