rocky mountain high ~

hi there  ~ happy friday!

here’s a little more of our day in the rocky mountain country north of great falls… and {yes i was a john denver fan back in the 70’s!} while my fanship was somewhat short-lived, my love for montana never will be!  here is part two of our spring road trip.  i hope you’ll sit back and enjoy ~

i spotted some beautiful horses in a field next to the road, so we pulled over for a little ‘horsin’ around!’ — with the great company of several sweet souls, who let us give ’em a bit of good scratchin’ behind the ol ears ~ one younger, one older.  

 the paint wasn’t even mildly interesting in budging from his comfortable pose ~ but we got some attention with these two sweet souls:

 one younger… one older.

i just love their dark eyes, white eyelashes, and gentle faces.

 even the brand was “sweet!” {although not uncommon}

i almost hated to say goodbye ~ but it was time to move on.

the mountains were waiting…  we’ve got more great country to take in ~ come on back ~ ya hear!

 the weather’s clouding up… but it’s still a spectacular day in the front!
