This is how the Going-to-the-Sun Road looked in February ... no cars at all, just me and the snow and a single, inquisitive deer.
I love driving that road as much as anyone, but still ... this is so much better than the endless parade of SUVs that will fill that view a few months from now.
I saw some deer a few weeks back, from the window of my office park. They were grazing among the remaining trees on a hill between two shiny white buildings, reminders of what used to roam these hills before.
I'm a professional historian, though my real passions lie in the art of photography and the freedom of travel. Armed with camera and backpack, I've visited all fifty of the US states ... and a total of 65 countries on six continents.

ReplyDeleteYour deer looks much more at home.
Yeah, seeing wild animals in urban settings usually just makes me sad. Of course, it here in Bozeman, too ...
