From one day to the next… I just spent a few days in West Yellowstone and Ashton, Idaho. On Saturday we had snow and wind and on Sunday it was sunny, cool, and spectacular.

A winter sunset on Silver Creek. Really nice to see more snow!

Cold. Some sun. Rain and snow too. Saturated trees and sky. October.
Here’s a recent panorama of the Lost River Range (Idaho’s tallest mountains).

It still feels like spring and technically it is for five more days... The image below was taken yesterday on a beautiful sunny day.

As you can see, there's no snow... Absolutely crazy weather here. No snow at lowish elevations. Highs in the upper 30's to low 40's this first week of 2018. If there has ever been a winter to be out on the river, this is the one.

A beautiful foggy morning on Silver Creek today.
A bit of wind and a bit of snow and rain and some sun and a bit of clouds and a touch colder too...

We had a fall snowstorm through most of the day today. Our fall colors are just starting yet it feels a bit more like November...

It's been on the cold side for September. Snow on the mountains and even on the valley floors for a day or so. The leaves are just starting to turn but it's felt like late October. Elk are bugling and sand hill cranes are on their annual migration south making their pre-historic garble as they circle at great heights and barley stubble and cheat grass and even rabbitbrush have taken on their yellow hues while smoke bellows out of a two-room house chimney along a ditch somewhere in Mackay, Idaho.

Smoky skies are the new norm for August. Thunderstorms have been rolling through too, compounding the surreal color cast with a muggy and palpable sky. Sometimes it smells like sweet pipe smoke. The rest of the time it's not discernible to my nose. Burning sage and bitterbrush to the south and I suppose some cheatgrass as well. Lodgepole pines are getting cremated to the north. A visual amalgamation of sorts: muted, Impressionistic, cold-blue in August, and teary-eyed.

Here's a two page image of mine appearing in the new 2017 summer issue of Angler's Journal:
With craft beer taking over the beer market and the demand for Coors and Budweiser dropping, barley fields in the Picabo, Idaho area are slowly converting to alternatives like mustard.

The local wildflowers are out and working their way to higher elevations...
One more week until Silver Creek opens and we still have plenty of snow up high. You can ski this weekend and then fish Silver Creek next weekend..

Galena yesterday afternoon. Still plenty of snow up high. The Snotel gauge for Galena yesterday reported 56" of snow.
