April Showers Bring May Wildflowers
In May we are seeing more and more spring flowers come into bloom. The slideshow from my SmugMug site has arnica, arrowleaf balsamroot, shooting stars, serviceberry, indian paintbrush, oregon grape, and more.
It has been a cool spring with only a little moisture until recently. The aspen and cottonwood and shrubs are finally getting their leaves and it is looking green again!

About me
My original blog post is Merle’s Adventures at Blogspot
My name is Merle Ann Loman and I am a native of Ronan, MT. I currently live in the Bitterroot Valley located south of Missoula in western Montana. This blog starts here, but will also travel the world. I love being outdoors. I run, hike, bike, fish, hunt, ski and always take photos. As much time as I spend outdoors, one needs to eat. You will see entries about foods that travel well, making it much more fun to spend long periods of time exploring our flora and fauna.

- Argentina - fly fishing and more in the Patagonia regionJack Mauer on Rio Chimehuin (Photo by Merle Ann Loman)Fly fishing in Montana might be similar to fly fishing in Argentina, but Argentina’s open spaces are even vaster. Jack Mauer first visited the Patagonia region of Argentina in February and March of 2006. He knew that there would be great fly fishing and made the most of it by floating, fly fishing and cam […]
