Here are some pictures I took at the beginning of July while a big thunder cloud rolled over the farm in the middle of the night…
The National Weather Service contacted me and asked if they could use the above photo in a safety video! 
The Billings Gazette even used one…
The producer of NBC news even contacted me about using them! Pretty neat, if you ask me. 🙂
The clouds almost looked like they were on fire the other night…
A little alpine-glow on the mountains…
Fire cloud above the farm…
A star trail with northern lights above the farm…
Sunset by Flathead River…
Last night we watched this crescent moon set, with a huge dark cloud hanging over it. The only thing visible in the sky was this little moon…
Then slowly the clouds started to part…
Reveling twinkling stars…
All within a half hour, the sky went from completely socked in to just a few little clouds here and there. Then as we walked home I accidentally hit my camera remote and this was what it recorded in thirty seconds… 
Kind of funny!
On Wednesday we had a blue-sky day and we couldn’t stand to stay in the house any longer so we loaded up the Suburban and headed up to the park for a bit…
Stunning mountains….
Playing in the snow…
Beautiful crescent moon with the stars starting to appear and the sunset starting to fade…
My first attempts at shooting the night sky. Not much editing yet. Lots of fun though!
