Last night, while attending a Christmas party, the Rav was tagged. Fortunately, we found a product that removed the red and black spray paint.

Watching the Cattle

Wally used to worked in the Livestock Yard for eight years. He took us up on the cat walk to see the cowboys sorting the cattle.

Cattle Sorting

The cowboys were busy sorting the cattle.

Auction

Listening to the auctioneer, seeing the cattle enter and exit and watching the cowboys in the audience bid at the auction was facinating. Here is the youngest cowboy in the room.

Livestock Yard

The Livestock Yard in Billings was our outing for the day.

Rehearsal

Mary is warming up on her oboe at the Alberta Bair Theatre where the Billings Symphony plays once a month.

Happy Friends

Pam, Joan, Mary and I had a yummy lunch and then went on a beautiful walk in the Pheasants Forever area. Joan and Pam are some of Mary's special friends.

Pheasants Forever Walk

In some areas on the trail, the grass was over 5 feet tall. We didn't see any pheasants.

Bud

Bud is Wally's dog. He is 15 months old and is part Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. Mary and Bud are enjoying each other.

Turkeys

The turkeys are plentiful north of Billings, where Mary and Wally live. At dusk they can be seen flying into a pine tree and sitting on the upper most branches.

Sharing the Road

This Montana Cowgirl was moving the cattle to a different pasture.

Montana

After leaving Yellowstone National Park, we went on to Montana.

One of the Many Falls

Norris Geysers

Minerva Terrace

These interesting formations are near Mammoth Hot Springs, located at the North Entrance to the park. No, it isn't snow.

Mud Geyser

Bubble, bubble.

Elk

Watching the elk and listening to them bugle was a special treat. This elk was keeping his herd in line.

Bison

The bison were plentiful in the park.

Pinwheel Geyser

Steamboat Geyser

This is the world's largest geyser, reaching 300-400 feet. The last major eruption was on May 23, 2005. There are frequent minor eruptions ranging 10-70 feet.

We are enjoying this beautiful site.
