Amazing Montana Big Sky

eahooley

Updated: Feb 14

The afternoon skies on our journey home from T-Rex Valley on this beautiful late November day were amazing!



Our morning sunrise had soft shades of orange and yellows with a blue-grey background against the black contrast of the skyline.











The country side and trees look bare. Wildlife and the cattle are sparce. I photographed this lonely looking bull on the prairie.











The sun is rising on the horizon, and the skies are turning a brighter blue.



The clouds are touched with a faint pink left over from the sunrise this morning and fade away.











We continue on our road trip. In far distance is a pine tree forest against a massive sky with big white clouds, making a unique design.







Hunting season is almost over. One day all the wildlife will go back to comfortably grazing on the prairie.



Baaaa!





We hiked to a great spot from the summer that has dinosaur bone fragments scattered all over the butte.























We dig at the top of the hillside where the fossils are pouring out.







I take a few pictures of the view behind us, we are surrounded by a forest.









Erik discovers a nice tooth! But we have to pack up for the day. The position of our big winter sun is letting us know it’s time to go home for the day.



I’ll get the gate …hopefully one more adventure awaits! Our fossil season is at the end with December on the calendar next.

Our journey starts off with views of yellow dry grasslands against a baby blue sky and light grey clouds looking like Bob Ross painted it himself. The sun on this late November day is magnificent and makes my afternoon photos look off the chart stunning.















In the next few photos, the clouds break up into gray formations with the baby blue still in the background. Our Montana Big Sky shows off. The afternoon sun is so bright against our amazing buttes of Southeastern Montana in shades of gold and pink.

























The shade is rolling in on the prairie as the sun is setting on this unforgettable road trip.





Our son calls us later that evening from Bozeman, Montana at Montana State University. It has snowed already in the Rocky Mountains. Check out the mountains in the background and the beautiful deep blue Montana evening sky.



A Whitetail deer is eating berries from a tree on campus as Nathan walks by while talking to us. The wildlife on campus is unaffected by the students. Nathan gets very close to take the next photo, as the Whitetail deer continues eating unafraid.
