A photo story

A hike in northwest Montana

I was out on a hike in northwest Montana in May 2023, and I took this selfie against a wall of rock covered in yellow lichen. I had a sun hat on, and there were low shrubs and dry grass above the rocks under a pale sky. It was late morning, around 72, with almost no wind.

The rock was close behind me, and I stood there and took this. This was in the mountains of northwest Montana.
