Wild Goose Island

A trip to Glacier isn't complete without a trip down the east side of the Going-to-the-Sun Highway.  At the bottom of the pass is St. Mary's Lake and this often photographed scenic with the tiny Wild Goose Island in the middle of the picture.

Photo of the Day: February 25, 2015 (The Blues of Glacier)

The Blues of Glacier

McDonald Creek offers a beautiful example of he characteristic turquoise blue water found in Glacier National Park.  The turquoise coloring is from glacial flour, which is the fine particulates suspended in the water and is caused by the grinding of rocks when glaciers slide over them.

America the Beautiful

To me, this picture is America: it stands for our freedom, our beauty and our strength.  On a day like today, we all need to stand back and reflect upon our freedoms and opportunities in the United States of America.  God Bless all the people who lost their lives on 9-11-01, the heroes and the victims, let us Never Forget.  Photo from the top of Logan Pass in Glacier National Park.  September 2009.
