My family and I flew up to Bozeman for my sister’s graduation last week.
I got to spend some time innawoods at our cabin and I also visited the local OCA parish.
There’s also a wonderful monastery in Harrison that’s tightly knit with the surrounding parishes, but unfortunately I didn’t get an opportunity to visit.
Given the time of year, the weather was outstanding — it hit 80 degrees despite snowing nearly two weeks ago!
We also got to spend some time in yellowstone.
It’s always great, but this time I had my iPhone’s 48MP camera with me.
The photos are pretty spectacular.
I didn’t get around to doing too much this summer because of school,
but I did snap a couple of pretty cool pictures with an old Nikon
Coolpix. Here’s one of a gnarly banana spider my sister found:
I managed to spend some time surf casting with my Dad too and we got to
play around with his awesome early 2000’s Alvey. It’s sweet looking
and worked like a charm:
