BLM Photographic Outing

What's wrong with this picture?

That's the question of the day.

And, what's BLM photography.

That's another outing with cameras, taken yesterday with my sisters: Barbara, Laurie, Marianne (BLM).

Of course, I would be remiss in not mentioning Pita, Barbara's dog, but Pita didn't carry a camera.

We had a great time out Hope/Clark Fork way.

We started at the drift yard, and this photo was taken there.

While we were there, Scotsman Peak kept taking on different looks, thanks to the in-and-out actions of the sun and clouds.

You'll see from one of the photos why this place west of Clark Fork is called the "drift yard."

"Get my drift" truly applies.

The area is also home to waterfowl.

We could hear them squawking yesterday, but we needed to ford a stretch of water to get to them.

So, we just walked around, snapping and enjoying.

From there we moved on to Clark Fork so Barbara and Laurie could say they'd gone over the new bridge over Lightning Creek and I could make a quick pot stop at Bob Hayes Chevron.

Then, we came back via the old highway (scary Denton Curves of our childhood).

Those curves are not nearly so scary any more cuz the traffic is mostly down below on the newer road.

And, that makes it easy to pull over, walk around and take some more shots of beautiful Lake Pend Oreille without fear of being run over.

Our final stop was above the Hope Cemetery on a subdivision road which winds up the mountain.

Hate to think of what those lots sell for.

For now, there's not much activity, again allowing us the freedom to park and roam and shoot.

We had a blast, and I hope we do more BLM photographic missions soon.
