The following day after our drive up to Logan's Pass was a little gloomy so we drove up to Many Glacier and enjoyed the Lodge on the edge of the lake. The feeling you get at the lodge is that of a Norwegian fjord with the rustic lodge, Glacial lake and huge mountain just across the bay. As we left the mountain lake we found a little black bear munching on the tops of grasses in an open field near the waters edge. We were not concerned as we were in our walk on the valley floor were we saw several signs of Grizzly bear scrapes and scat on the trail. I had my bear spray ready, just in case.
The next day the rain hung on the mountains so we turned around and walked the woods and prairie land leading up to the mountains and discovered some of the most beautiful scenes yet. As we cleared a burned out area we entered a field of wild flowers. Gary stopped in his tracks to enjoy the view and the assault to the senses of perfume lofting up from the ground.
I remembered a photographer telling me that when you think you have the shot, turn around and look behind you and you will often see the best shot of the day and maybe your life, the one you would have missed had you not turned around.
