Nice Day - Stevensville, Montana

"Nice day
for a

white wedding."

- Billy Idol, from "White Wedding"

Driving up to the intersection above Tucker Crossing fishing access, the sky opened wide as I topped the rise, crisscrossing jet trails hinting at new adventures about to begin. Another glorious day awaits under the big Montana sky!

(Note: I was not actually fishing at the fishing access - this is not required. Good thing for me. But the "access" aspect is also useful for finding photo perspectives along the river.)

Friday Crocus, Missoula, Montana

Billy Idol observed the niceness of a day for a white wedding. This Friday seems a nice day for a white crocus - as a cheery send-off into the weekend, not to be confused with a punk rock song. Since this has been one of those weeks where Tuesday felt like a Thursday, I think a pleasant segue is in order. 
In these parts, the crocuses are fair and fleeting, their bloom time minimized by the onset of warm temperatures. I glimpsed this one about a week ago, as I exited the public library.
