Weeks 8-20--26-11 and 8-27--9-2-11 - Washington Island, WI; Butte and Missoula, MT

Week 8-20 thru 8-26-11 - Washington Island, WI; and back to Butte, MT:

School House Beach at Washington Harbor


A highly recommended (courtesy of Marianne and Phil Pitner!) twist on caprese salad - sub the tomatoes for peaches... brilliant. I may even wager better than the original.


Abandoned Christmas tree field on the Island

Cows graze at sunrise in the smokey inversion created by wildfires nearby



Week 8-27 thru 9-2-11 - Missoula and Butte, MT:



Smoke from a 14,000 acre wildfire billows over the highway by Missoula



The infamous Douglas-fir beetles within their truly beautiful galleries beneath the bark. The galleries are so extensive that they completely wrap and girdle their host trees, shutting down the flow of water and nutrients, killing them in a season.

Wild raspberries abound.
