Winter Selah On The Yellowstone River, Livingston, Montana

Sacajawea Park’s riverside trail includes several strategically placed benches from which to pause and ponder the lovely views, as demonstrated here by my lovely sibling. 
(Given the light beaming portentously upon her, this photo could be subtitled “My Sainted Sister”.)

Waiting For Spring, Missoula, Montana

Barring travelers in full-on snowsuits, this bench will probably not be sat upon until a much warmer day.

Benchwarming, Daly Mansion, Hamilton, Montana

An unnerving hard drive crash this week had me scrambling, and I missed posting the last two days. But I found a decent laptop and am back at it.
In the meantime, I squeezed in a delightful stroll with a friend on the Daly Mansion grounds. We also lingered in the Mansion's shady gazebo to enjoy the beautiful scenery & share a piece of fresh raspberry pie from the Coffee Cup in Hamilton, Montana.  - (Now why didn't I take a pic of that?! Oh, right, we were too enthralled with the tasting of it!) Should a waitress ever throw out a side comment that she waits all year for the fresh raspberry pie, I recommend you try a slice.It was all things ambrosial for a sunny summer day!
