Little Big Horn...

Yesterday, Bruce and I took a little trip the the Little Big Horn Battlefield National Monument.  I've been wanting to go for a while and Bruce, on the spur of the minute, said lets go.  Its about an hour drive from here.  This weekend is the time of year they do the reenactments, but we didn't go for that.  We went through the Visitor's Center and walked around the battlefield.  It was very interesting and an absolutely beautiful day to do it.  The temperature was in the low 70's and the grass was lush and green.  This made for a perfect day for being outside.

Here are a few pictures.

 The countryside is green and lush and in a few short weeks it will be a dull brown.

Of course we have to have a few flower pictures.

I never knew there were tarantulas in Montana. I may have to consider moving further north!!
