The Missouri, one last time

Tonight's pictures mark our final stroll down the lane of memories from last year's Montana trip. I'm so thankful for memories that allow us to keep experiences close, and for pictures that help us remember when our minds are feeble and we can't quite recall just what a Missouri River sunset is like. And for a family that jumps at the chance to live out of a canoe for a week. And for a wedding photographer brother who cheerfully ensconces his professional camera equipment in waterproof cases and documents these adventures that I thrive on in amazing, vivid technicolor.

“One must be out-of-doors enough to get experience of wholesome reality, as a ballast to thought and sentiment. Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life.” Henry David Thoreau
