Those moments after - a photo on Flickriver

            The sun had just disappeared over the ridge to share its last rays with Montana when I arrived at Sather Lake in western McKenzie County, North Dakota, roughly 22 miles from Sidney, Montana.  The first frogs of spring were making their presence known and a couple of Canada geese were discussing their day after making final approaches overhead in the far-from-calm conditions.  I had been eyeing the sky and clouds for some time while exploring some of the National Grassland in the nearby buttes and valleys but this lake won out.   What began as a rather blah afternoon of scoping out potential compositions paid off handsomely in the end.  (4-14-2024)
