Montana Adventures, Day One

The evening after we arrived in the Kalispell/Columbia Falls area, we drove through a real downpour. As the rain let up, we were blessed with a gorgeous full rainbow that appeared right in front of the mountains. The bright colors contrasted amazingly with the dark blue background of the mountains. What a wonderful welcome to Montana!

And we didn't have our cameras with us.

We rushed back to get them, but of course, the rainbow didn't wait for us. So we explored the area a little and came upon some horses wearing coats!

The only thing more amazing than a rainbow is seeing three horses in coats, right?

When the handsomely dressed four-legged creatures saw us, they ran to us ecstatically, as though we were long-lost friends. I KNOW their happiness had nothing to do with a wish for food but had EVERYTHING to do with their utter joy at seeing us! ;-)

One was so happy to see Mr. Carol For Peace that he tried to give him a big kiss (notice how Mr. CFP resisted as he is totally dedicated to his wife.)

Out of sheer frustration, Mr. Horse decided to just chew on a post. Looking at those teeth, I'm thinking that Mr. CFP was smart in resisting a close encounter.
