Don't miss this special book reading about a Montana icon. Our own Director will be doing the introduction. See you Thursday!
Norman Maclean is one of the most well known authors to come out of Montana, and certainly one of the most famous fly fishing authors ever. Wheatgrass Books & Gifts is hosting a reading of a newly released biography of Maclean by author Rebecca McCarthy on Thursday, September 5th at 6pm. Her unique perspective of Maclean, not only as the author we know him as, but as a personal friend, shines through in her book. If you’re a fan of A River Runs Through It, or literature as a whole, don’t miss it!

As always, add shredded chicken for an extra power boost. 11-3 on B and Lewis!

Open burning is closed today in all Park County fire districts due to a Red Flag Warning. Red Flag Warnings are issued by the National Weather Service when high temperatures, high winds and low humidities combine to create dangerous conditions for fire. Open burning is for reducing fuels and only applies to fires over 4 feet in diameter requiring a burn permit. While campfires (under 4') are permitted, take extra care as you are responsible for any fires you start.

“The Dance of Smoke and Light”
Tenacious Tree, Shields Valley, Montana, USA
30 August 2024
This is a single frame from one of the timelapses I shot last night during a somewhat unexpected northern lights display. I knew there was a small chance of the lights making a showing, but did not expect anything like what happened.
If you look carefully, you can see brown smoke from distant wildfires creating a feathery horizontal line through the center of the image. The smoke is more evident in the timelapse that this frame was taken from.
I’ve noticed that smoky skies make the aurora appear more red and yellow, rather than magenta and green. That’s when I’m using the same white balance for both scenarios.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
