I am infatuated with this house. I’m not sure why…Maybe it’s because it looks like a castle, or because it’s one of the only old houses in uptown Butte that has a yard (look to the left). I always stare at it, which isn’t safe when driving. I would love to someday fix up an …
There were blue skies around 3 p.m. today. It seemed insane that the weather report called for 3-7 inches of snow, wind up to 40 mph and a winter storm watch for the area until 4 p.m. tomorrow. And then I got off work. The wind had started, but no snow. So I reluctantly grabbed …
I went back to the old gas station (I think that’s what it was) on the corner of Wyoming Broadway Streets to get these photos…Click on the image to see a much larger view.
Bruce and Bob’s Goodguy Pawn on Arizona Street has had these stretched-out Levi 501’s outside of the business for as long as I can remember. And I’ve lived in Butte off and on since I was 12 (almost 12 years ago). It’s just one of those little things about Butte that I’ll always remember…those huge, …

This is a diptych (two photos next to one another) of the Bell Diamond Mine. I miss being able to take photos at this time of day! It was at about 3:45 or so, when the light is at its best…In the summer it was at 8 p.m. It was perfect in the summer, because …
This is what the sky looked like today on my drive home from lunch. I’m assuming it was from one of MRI’s explosions they usually do around 1 p.m. But the dust didn’t settle quickley like it used to. I know in the spring and summer they are required to use sprinklers to keep the …
I bought this Jewelry at the uptown antique store for my Halloween Costume. (I was a librarian…that was supposed to be from the 50s). It makes me wonder how much of the stuff from that store is from Butte natives, and how much of that stuff is from elsewhere.
This is behind the CCCS Building (Community, Counseling and Corrective Services) in the alley on the north side of Broadway Street.
