Montana life means
time spent on the road.
Road trips mean fast stops for photography! I spend my time in the passenger seat with a camera in my lap. While we travel down the road, I watch for interesting details along the way. Recently we drove to Bozeman to see some of my family. A few hours and Famous Dave's BBQ made a great Father's Day! We didn't have much time to spend together but we made the most of it! We spent the evening with them and then drove back home late that night.
While we made our way to Bozeman that day, I gazed out the window at the landscape. A beautiful day was framed in with bright blue skies above and these lovely yucca blooming on the hillside. We pulled off at the next exit, giving me opportunity to hop out of the car. A quick 3 minutes with my camera resulted in a few great reference photos. The blossoms are bundled in clusters on the stalk. The shades of color vary with outer petals having more of a rusty pink tinge. The wind was blowing (of course it was...this IS Montana) so the petals are more open in some areas. The roadside views of yucca blooming made for such a nice surprise that day!
