I decided to swing by for the opening day at the Western Montana Fair since my mom was in town visiting. She and I are big fans of cute animals, and we happened to find some super adorable ones at the fair. There were chickens, geese, ducks, rabbits, goats, llamas, bulls - you name it. I'm always impressed by the kids (and adults) who take such good care of their animals. This young man with the rabbit was no exception. His rabbit, R.J., was getting all sorts of pets and hugs from his youthful owner. He was kind enough to let me take some photos of him with his rabbit (who is a lion head breed, by the way), and to tell me a bit about how his ...
Great Egret :: Birds at the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge
On another one of my photo adventures with my visiting brother, we checked out the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge. I'd never been before, and it was definitely worth the trip. It's a gorgeous spot with all sorts of bird activity. I should mention, I love birds. LOVE 'em. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that I grew up with canaries as pets and have two pet birds of my own (Flash the parrotlet and Mozart the canary). Or my love for them could be because they're just so darn cool. Don't tell me you aren't envious of their wings and ability to fly! Anyway, these are some of my favorite photos from our excursion - enjoy! The ...
Happy Mother’s Day!
In the spirit of Mother's Day, I wanted to post a few pictures of my wonderful mom. We aren't spending today together since I'm here and she's in the Midwest, but love knows no boundaries or distance. And I love her, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her with all my heart. So, happy Mother's Day, mom! You're the best mom a daughter could ever ask for! Can't wait to see you and Dad again on your next visit. And now, the pics (from the days of film!). I know she's probably not going to like that I posted these pictures, but I think she's the most beautiful, wonderful woman and mom in the world: Cheers, -Kristine ...
My photo is on a billboard!
No, not a photo of me (thank goodness!), but one of the photos I shot for the Missoula County DUI Task Force. Remember a few months back when I was hired by the Century Council to photograph their grand announcement of Cops in Shops in Montana? (See this blog post to read about it.) I made several images for them of a local Missoula cop getting tough on alcohol in a grocery store. And now, it's up on a billboard! Pretty cool! I can't get over just how large that photo is. I actually saw it after shooting a short and very sweet wedding at the Gibson Mansion. (Congratulations Stacey and Bryan!) They had a lovely ceremony and are such a nice ...
Springtime in Missoula!
I was walking back from a meeting downtown today and happened upon this gorgeous, flowery little bush and had to stop and take some pictures. I wish Missoula had more of these beauties! (I'd love to do a photo shoot amongst some flowering trees - does anyone know where a group of them are?) Anyway, just thought I'd share. Oh, and I thought you all might enjoy this happy little robin, too. (I photographed him last week in the evening.) Cheers! -Kristine ...
Where the deer and the antelope play :: Visiting the National Bison Range in Montana
I took a little trip the other day to the National Bison Range since I'd never actually been before. (Shame, shame!) Since it's not tourist season yet, it was pretty quiet up there, but that made the trip so nice. Meadowlarks sang their pretty little songs, the bison munched on grass and pronghorn antelope used teasle to scratch the things that itched. It's gorgeous at the range - stunning mountainous backdrops, rolling hills...all good stuff. Anyone want to do a photo shoot there? :) Ok - now for the pics. Enjoy! Also, coming up on the blog: a recipe for hummus that's downright addictive! Plus, more fun stuff, ...
Oh, to be a dog in Missoula
I don't have a dog of my own right now (sigh), but my parents have a dog that I grew up with, Opie. They were out here visiting and, as is required when there is a cute dog around, he got his own little mutt mugs. We're still not entirely sure what Opie is since he was a pound dog rescue pooch (shepherd??? something else?? something else?) - but that doesn't matter - he's got the sweetest disposition. He "oinks" when he's excited, he sings when he knows it's dinner time, and he hops up and down on his front paws when he realizes he's about to go for a walk. Oh, and he smiles, too. I just love dogs! (To see some more pics of cute dogs, ...
