. Fortunately, being the world's most boring person, I could easily meet today's #BirdOfTheDay challenge of #OpenBeak as this Great Horned Owlet fought to stay awake at my presence. Momma simply turned away from me. #EastCoastKin #photography #birds #Montana

. Devil's Slide in Paradise Valley #Montana This week's #AlphabetChallenge is #WeekLForLayers Formed by layers of limestone, sandstone and quartzites eroding at different speeds. Have a Monday, folks! #EastCoastKin #photography

. For the #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Stone. This was actually from a paid gig. This image was a bit too "film noir" for the client. No accounting for taste I guess! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #EastCoastKin #monochrome #Montana #photography #blackandwhitephotography #ClassicMono

. Being #CoyoteAwarenessWeek I give you the infamous coyote nicknamed Limpy. Limpy feigns an injured front leg and will boldly approach cars and people in hopes of a handout! He is a genius. Google him at Yellowstone Nat'l Park. #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #LamarValley #wildlife #coyote

. My last for this week's #AlphabetChallenge of #WeekKforKaput. I can only assume there was a home around that chimney on the right. Lots of kaput here too. #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #ClassicMono #ghosttown #blackandwhite

. Madison Buffalo Jump. The fastest indigenous runners would round up the bison and drive them off the cliff where waiting peoples (mostly women) below would kill and butcher the bison. No horses, no guns. Happy Friday, y'all! #Scape #EastCoastKin #Montana #photography #History

. You know I'm a sucker for churches. I've been to this town maybe 20 times and had somehow always missed this church. The sun was directly behind the steeple giving the subtle glow while casting the darkest of shadows ahead. #EastCoastKin #Montana #monochrome #photography #blackandwhitephotography

. From talking with locals, this structure was once a train depot, a Grange Hall, a post office, a grocery store and a seed and grain retailer. For this week's #AlphabetChallenge, the theme is #WeekIforInteriors #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography

. "Cloud Watching Cloud" Work ran long today so me and the boys had to settle for a walk around the 'hood. The rare cell phone capture from me! #EastCoastKin #DogsOfBlueSky #Samoyed #Montana #Samoyeds #dogs #clouds #photography

. Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PowerPose. My favorite part of this photo was the chick trying to look just as tough as the adult! A bit of trivia, An Osprey's diet is >99% fish. #EastCoastKin #Montana #birds #photography #raptor

. This was the way I originally envisioned this image prior to me messing around with the #blueSky. Which appears that almost no one cared for! A concrete plant in Three Forks, #Montana #EastCoastKin #photography #TwoForTuesday #RockinTuesday

. For #BlueSkyMonday, a cement plant in Three Forks, #Montana. And yes, I took liberties with the edit here! Have a great Monday, y'all. See you after work. #EastCoastKin #photography

. From my first trip to see the Pryor Mountain wild horses in Wyoming. I thought this filly was going to pop out a foal at any moment! Absolutely magical. If you ever get a chance to see wild horses, do it. #EastCoastKin #Photography #FuckYouBLM #Stunday

. A walk along the semi-frozen Madison River today. Still no snow in the forecast at least through the end of the month. Gonna be a real fun 🔥 season! #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #ClimateChange

. Pt. II of this morning's post. This wild horse and I rounded a blind corner from opposite directions on a very narrow trail. I'm still amazed he didn't stomp on me! These horses are descendants of the horses the Spaniards brought over in the 1600s. #EastCoastKin #photography

. Bighorn Canyon in SE #Montana during spring runoff. I was on my way to find and photograph wild (feral) horses just outside Lovell, Wyoming in the Pryor Mountain range. We made it to another Friday, my friends! #EastCoastKin #scape #photography

. My lack of patience often curtails any birding for me, but every now and then I unwittingly stumble on a good one. The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PeacefulSolitude. This guy was chill. #EastCoastKin #Montana #birds #photography

. I'm gonna stick with #BirdOfTheDay today as well. Today's themes are #CollectingFood and #Gray. I believe this is a Merlin with its prey. It was a bad day to be a songbird. #EastCoastKin #Montana #birds #photography

. A Gray-crowned rosy finch for #BirdOfTheDay #WinterSurvivor. Due to its remote and rocky alpine habitat it is rarely seen. I had them all around until I decided to move to lower altitudes. #EastCoastKin #birds #Montana #photography

. To get to my weird little valley, there's one 14 mile road in or out. I stop at this spot quite often if the clouds are interesting, and wait for a vehicle to drive by. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography #Montana #Stunday

. In a town originally named Magpie in 1910, this tree waited over 100 years to exact its revenge on this #wood framed building, one of the only two or three original buildings still standing. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography #Montana

. Bringing In the Sheep, Part II As the shearing progressed, my neighbor was looking over their bounty. And my apologies to those I shocked by having humans in my photos today! 🤪 #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography #Montana #HumansOfBluesky

. Many years ago my elderly neighbor asked my help in corralling his way over-wooly sheep so they could be shorn. It was an experience! #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography #Montana #HumansOfBluesky

You know by now that there's no way I could pass by this without capturing an image or two. My work takes me into areas that I may not have been to before, so it's a treat to find non-work things to photograph. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography #Montana

. The last of the milk truck series as I only captured these three angles. Thanks for all the love and support, y'all! #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography #Montana
