Photography And Half-Thoughts By Mitchell Hegman

...because some of it is pretty and some of it is not.

Hogback Mountain, 2018


Yesterday, that girl, her twin sisters, and I drove to the top of Hogback Mountain.  On top, we took in a view extending from the Flint Creek Range near Deer Lodge to the Bridger Range near Bozeman.  All of the Prickly Pear Valley and the chain of lakes along the Missouri River lay below us.
The wildflower displays on our climb from valley to mountaintop were spectacular.
We ended our day of adventure with a short hike into Refrigerator Canyon.  A strong, cool wind was funneling through the canyon.  Clear water clattered down through the boulders alongside us and sometimes filtered through the crushed limestone trail at our feet.
Following are a mix of photographs—some captured with my SLR camera, some captured with my smarter-than-me-phone.
