Stevensville
As always, the Adventures continue here in Montana. Meeker our White Labrador is fast growing, now hitting the ripe old age of 4 months.
The past month has been spent with good friends and lots of outdoor time! Skeet shooting, mountain drives and some fun valley flying.
Check out some of the images below from the past month. All images photographed with a Nikon D800, 14-24mm 2.8 Lens or Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8 Lens.
Yesterday there was a break in the rainy Bitterroot Valley weather. We awoke to sunny blue skies and slightly warmer temperatures. It was the perfect day to fly back to Moose Creek, ID to go for a short hike and try our hand at Fly Fishing on the Selway River.
The fishing was pretty good in the end. Nice small Brook Trout, all caught on stimulaters. We packed a lunch and the pup, Meeker, ran around enjoying the river and everything else she could get her mouth on. It is a pretty neat feeling to know that we where the only people around for miles, getting to enjoy the Selway Wilderness all to ourselves.
Here are some pic's from our fun adventure!!!

Meeker and her Garmin GPS collar!
I through the Pentax 645 FA 80-160mm F4.5 on the Pentax 645z. The lens itself is rather sharp, but its HEAVY when attached to the Pentax 645z. I realized that even at 1/500 of a sec the images can have some camera shake to them as well. The lens has nice contrast and I really enjoyed shooting with it.
Here are some images from today with the lens!
The Sunset tonight in the Bitterroot was spectacular. Pebbles, the New Paster Mule and newest member of the Richardson family, seems like she is settling into her new life in Montana. I just couldn't resist snapping some shots of her. She really adds to the Pasture!

Over the Easter Long Weekend, I has lucky enough to hang out with some friends in Beautiful Big Sky Montana. Our Weekend started off with an amazing Helicopter ride, a Pie run by private plane and then finishing off with some fly fishing on the Bitterroot River. After stuffing our faces with some amazing Easter food and PIE, we finished off our Sunday evening with some target shooting and beer drinking!!! It was really an amazing weekend and I don't know how we will ever top it again.
Here are some sample shots from our "BEST WEEKEND EVER"!!!
