Fort Benton Montana

This weekend I found myself in Montana for a friend of my daughters wedding. This was my first time in the Great Falls area. Though a very dry summer for this area the scenery was beautiful.

Fort Benton is the "Birthplace of montana" which I did not know. It is along the beautiful Missouri River. So much wild life along the banks. I loved watching the Osprey "fishing" the other evening.

 and my little white rental car!

The wedding was beautiful.

The setting was the ranch where she grew up.

It was fun watching the activities leading up to the ceremony.

There is the whole party out in the alfalfa with the

Montana hills behind.

 

 

 

 

and the reception was held in town at the Ag Building.

Now I am  back home for a few days of work and then  off again to see my mom in Spokane.
