View From The Edge - Near Lincoln, Montana

"Out on the edge you see 
all kinds of things you can't 
see from the centre. 
Big, undreamed-of things - the 
people on the edge see them 
first."

- Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007)

Vast Secrets - Livingston, Montana

"...Father John had come to love the quiet vastness and the way the plains revealed their secrets when you happened upon them unexpectedly - the swell of a bluff, the cut of an arroyo, the patches of sagebrush and pink, blue, and yellow wildflowers."

- from Shadow Dancer by Margaret Coel, page 2

(Minor disclosure: Regretfully, this photo is not from a weekend jaunt to Livingston, but delightfully left over from an earlier trip. Because it's almost the season for delightful leftovers...)
