Shades of Fall

I would love to be able to show you pics from PA or even I-70 in Colorado, however, both of these places were driven in the dark. I imagined how pretty the colors would have been. Maybe before the snow flies we will be able to make it back to both places in the daylight....I will share.

These pics are all in Montana. From Helena to Great Falls.




Our Lady of The Rockies - Butte, MT
This statue which is 90 feet tall sits on the mountain overlooking the Butte Valley. It was erected by a man, Bob O'Bill whose wife was dying of cancer. He had prayed to the Virgin Mary to let his wife be cured from the cancer. He promised Mary that if his wife was cured
he would build a statue in her honor on his property. Well...his wife made it through the cancerand he started erecting the statue. Many people in Butte became involved in the proj
ect and decided to make the statue on a bigger scale. It is made out of concrete and as I said sits 90 feet, almost as big as the Statue of Liberty.

When passing through Butte, MT you cannot help but notice this bright white statue up on the mountaintop. It is truly majestic and makes Butte, MT a stand out city.





All for now, but should have more fall photos coming soon.
