Rich, your words are beautiful. It sounds like you are an old time sailor. As far as Montana is concerned, I have spent much time there and am awed by what our great Creator has done.
ReplyDeleteYour friend,

Bud:
ReplyDeleteI am definitely not a sailor. My only experience being on Al's catamaran on Crystal Lake, MI, which is 1.5 X 6 miles. But Flathead Lake is 7 miles by 30 miles!
Yes, we've both spent much time in Montana; it draws you in, entices you to return; makes you love the Big Sky country.
Give the Glory to God! "G3"

Beautiful scene Richard - love how you describe it as Big Sky Country - where I live it's called Big Tree Country.
ReplyDeleteRosie:
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love Montana very much. I would like to see Scotland's Big Trees.
Not that size matters, but in land area, Montana is nearly five times larger than Scotland:
147,165 sq. miles vs. 30,420 sq. miles ( 78,789 sq. km.) I'm just sayin'.
