Haystacks and Clouds at Paws Up Resort
I recently returned from a trip to the great state of Montana, which has several nicknames including “Big Sky Country.” After visiting the state’s capital of Helena, my husband and I spent a few days glamping at the incredible Resort at Paws Up .
During my days at Paws Up, I saw plenty of Big Sky. In honor of FriFotos, sere are some of my favorite pictures of clouds in the Big Sky above Paws Up.

Did I mention a River Runs Through It? Seriously. The Blackfoot River, which was key to the plot of the Robert Redford directed film A River Runs Through It, runs through the property at Paws Up. Here’s a panorama of the Blackfoot River, with the sky above dotted with wispy clouds.

Big Sky Country got all moody when storm clouds forming in Missoula in the distance. I got some fantastic cloud photos of the shifting light and changing colors as the storm grew.

Big Sky Country was sometimes brilliant blue and dotted with clouds, and once it got all moody with storm clouds forming in Missoula in the distance, shifting colors. These storm images are some of my favorite landscapes I’ve ever shot.
