I chose to do an alphabet photo essay as
I always enjoyed alphabet books when my
kids were little. I have enjoyed travelling
on roads I've never been on looking for
photos for our weekly assignments and
decided to see if I could find something to
represent each letter.
ANTIQUE-there are a number of these
old pumps around if you keep your eyes open.
BARN-not much left of this old building.
CROCUS-as of April 22, this is the only flower
which has bloomed in my beds.
DROP-after a nice rain this was hanging on
tight. You can see branches reflected in the drop.
EYE-a close up of cow #75J at a friend's ranch.
FELINE-one of many of the barn cats at the
same ranch.
GRAFFITI-one of the more colorful ones I have
seen on the trains passing through town.
HUMMINGBIRD nest-I never would have seen
this had the leaves been on the trees; it's really tiny.
I hope hummingbirds return to the same nest yearly.
INSULATOR-not too many of these around
anymore. The sun rays in the background were an
unexpected pleasant addition.
anymore. The sun rays in the background were an
unexpected pleasant addition.
JUNKER-nice bold colors.
KICK-an action shot of a member of the
Eastern Montana Martial Arts Academy breaking
her board; she was successful.
LOCOMOTIVE-I liked the way the train was
switching tracks. The gate came down seconds
after this photo was taken. It must have been
snowing east of town.
MAILBOX-passed this on a back road west
of Glendive.
NEON-sign identifying a local watering
hole in town.
OUTHOUSE-aka a room with a view
as there is no door. This is considered our
second bathroom at the cabin.
as there is no door. This is considered our
second bathroom at the cabin.
POSTED-a familiar sign in
eastern Montana; must be a reason.
QUAINT-it used to be every person's dream to
own a cute little brick house with a white
picket fence.
REFLECTIONS...of the past. It's not
everywhere you can see a triceratops but
you certainly can in Glendive.
STUDEBAKER-still runs! It was the make of the
first car I can remember my folks driving.
TUMBLEWEED-I wonder where all the
tumbleweeds would end up if there were no
barbed wire fences to catch them.
UDDER-I sure hope she didn't mind me
taking her picture like this!!
VINTAGE-I found this 56 Chevy Bel Air
in an alley in town.
WRANGLERS-making cowboy butts look fine
since the mid 1940's. Thanks to the gentleman
for allowing me to take his picture.
Xing...railroad style. Heed the warning!
YUCCA-should be the eastern Montana
regional flower; there's a lot of it.
ZEROES-scoreboard for the DCC Bucs.
