Yesterday, I visited Bigfork, Montana. About twenty miles from Kalispell, the small town is located at the north end of Flathead Lake. Flathead Lake is the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. The Flathead and Swan Rivers flow into the lake, and it's a very scenic area. Orchards are on the east shore, and it's now a major cherry-growing area.This was my first summer visit (I'd been in January once with Krista...quite a different look then!), and I'll be going back often. Good restaurants, a summer playhouse, lots of art. What's not to like! Here are a few snaps from the day.

I'm moving to Montana. To Kalispell, Montana, actually. So much is going on right now that I thought perhaps a new blog would help me out. I've lived in the Dallas area since 2004, and it's time for a change.  2017 is the Year of Adventure for me, and I'm ready for it. My only child and her husband live in Whitefish, and it'll be really nice to live close by. Since I work my day job remotely, I can really work from anywhere, so long as I have high speed internet.  My photography business is flexible, too...new clients to meet, beautiful backdrops for shooting!  Vickie Cunningham Photography  is ready to roll, and I already have Dallas clients who would love to travel to Montana for photo sessions! Please follow along with me, as Maggie the Corgi and I embark upon an exciting new journey! Here's where we're going, and, as you can see, Maggie is very excited!  We welcome your comments, and are very pleased to have you along for the ride!

Today I went to the Whitefish Downtown Farmers Market, which is held every Tuesday from 5 until 7:30 pm. Today's was the first market of the season. It was hot outside, but that didn't keep the people away! Lots of laughter, music, dogs, bright colors, kids twirling around, and some very good booths. When it's not such a hot day, I'll bring Maggie. Here's a few snaps.

It was foolish of me to start a blog about my new adventure two weeks before I started packing to move to Montana!  However, now that I'm on the road, I'll be posting regularly. My best friend Jeanie and I are on a three-day road trip, destination Kalispell...and today was grand! We left Fort Worth this morning, headed north to Wichita Falls and Amarillo. It took more than five hours to get out of Texas, and I have to say the panhandle was very depressing. It reminded me of that movie, "The Last Picture Show." Ugh. After that, we cut through the northeast corner of New Mexico, and into Colorado. Maggie laid in her doggie hammock in the back seat, constrained by her halter, which she did manage to get out of (how, I'll never know), but with the help of Dr. Josh's relaxing pills, she calmed down. We are now in Pueblo, Colorado, spending the night at a pet-friendly Holiday Inn Express, which is actually quite nice. They have great pillows!  Some photos shot with ...
