Tattered and torn but still used~~~~~~~~Barn Charm

This barn is not too far from my place.  It is on a narrow back road and it has a little bridge to cross a slough to get to the house and barn and other stuff too.

Ritzville Sundog in the Channeled Scablands

Sundogs are made commonly of plate-shaped hexegonal  ice crystals in high and cold cirrus clouds. These crystals act as prisms, bending the light rays passing through them with a minimum deflection of 22°.  But often, as the crystals sink through the air they become vertically aligned, so sunlight is refracted horizontally — in this case, sundogs are seen.
As the sun rises higher, the rays passing through the crystals are increasingly skewed from the horizontal plane. Their angle of deviation increases and the sundogs move further from the sun. However, they always stay at the same elevation as the sun.
Sundogs are red-colored at the side nearest the sun. Farther out the colors grade through oranges to blue. However, the colors overlap considerably and so are muted, never pure or saturated.

Flathead Lake, Montana

Flathead Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake in the western part of the contiguous United States. With a surface area of about 191.5 sq mi (496 km²),it is slightly larger than Lake Tahoe.  The lake is a remnant of the ancient inland sea, Lake Missoula of the era of the last  interglacial.   Flathead Lake is 27.3 mi (43.9 km) long and up to 15.5 mi (24.9 km) wide. Its known maximum depth is 370.7 ft (113.0 m),  making it deeper than the average depths of the Yellow Sea and the Persian Gulf.   It is one of the cleanest in the populated world for its size and type

A path to take

IT seems I haven't been posting a lot lately and the trend continues because I will be gone for over a week, or longer,  but will try to post a pic or two.  I am going to visit my daughter in Ritzville and then off to Montana for awhile.
This is a picture I took while walking in the TreeFarm, across the road from me, on Sunday..  A beautiful sunny day

Don't forget me and I do read your posts too and enjoy your lovely pictures and thoughts.  MB

Celebrate The Fourth Of July~~~USA's Birthday

Between the  fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower 
fields that  go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed
companies. It's  a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB. Check out
the dimensions of  the flag. The Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet
wide and maintains  the proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive
Order #10834. This  Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be
planted with 5 pointed Stars, comprised of White  Larkspur.  Each Star is
24 feet in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet  wide. This Flag is estimated to
contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants,  with 4-5 flower stems each,
for a total of more than 2 million  flowers.


I received this photo from a friend via the internet.  MB
