Swan Rangers saw fog from both sides during their outings in a week-long inversion in NW Montana!

Scroll down to see the rest of their photos and details!

In our lead photo, Keith Hammer shows us the Swan Crest from the top edge of the fog while . . .

. . . Chris Gotschalk shows us the valley inversion from higher up in the Swan Range!

Norma Linsky shows that there is sun above all that fog and . . .

. . . shows us that the fog coats the vegetation in hoar frost, which later sprinkles down like fairy dust!

Pat Jaquith confirms hoar frost “growing” on Hawthorn berries but then . . .

. . . throws us a curve ball photo of Manganese dendrites that grew on this limestone rock located in the parking lot where she started her hike!

Ruth Quist zoomed in on these Swans just taking flight and . . .

. . . these Canada geese on the move!

Keith Hammer took this photo of the Swan Crest the day before the inversions set in but . . .

. . . also found beauty in the effects of the fog and hoar frost . . .

. . . on the fine-needled Hemlock trees!

Keith also reminds us that bears have not all denned yet and some haven't trimmed their toenails in a while!

In our parting shot, Debra Schweitzer treats us to the sun setting on ducks on a lake! 

If you have interesting photos of your outings, send them along with a description to keith@swanview.org and we'll try to work them into these weekly reports!
