Found this photo in an old cigar box my dad had tucked away after he passed. That’s me standing between him and my Uncle Bob back on our ranch north of Custer #Montana Probably taken in the late 60s. #cowboys

A photo of the Andromeda #galaxy taken from my driveway… Andromeda is about twice the size of our Milky Way, and we are headed towards each other at a speed of ~250,000 mph ✨

Gazing over Twin Lakes last week… The lakes are in Wyoming, but that distant plateau is Montana 🏔️

How inconsiderable this Earth, the theater upon which all our mighty designs & all our wars are transacted. A fit consideration for those Kings who sacrifice the lives of so many people only to flatter their ambition in being masters of some pitiful corner of this small spot

The night sky over my house last night… That tiny oval smear you can see on the right is the Andromeda galaxy… you have to wonder if there’s somebody over there right now looking over at our Milky Way…and wondering… 💫 #astronomy

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

I ran into this young bull #moose right at the start of yesterday‘s #hike… He wasn’t about to budge from the trail, so I had to make a wide bush-whack around him 🍂

The Beartooth Highway closes for the season today, so I made one last trip over the Pass yesterday… Was rewarded with this pretty little #rainbow over the lakes 🌈
